Abstract
Background: Vesico-cervical fistula (VCF) is an extremely rare complication of cesarean section, and only sporadic cases have been reported. Objectives: We wanted to analyze the incidence, symptomatology, diagnosis and therapeutic aspects of vesico-cervical fistula. Methods: In a six years period we treated four women with vesico-cervical fistula, mean age 34 years, all following a cesarean section. Results: Here we present the diagnosis, management and outcome of women with this complication in our institution. Conclusion: This report should increase awareness of this uncommon complication and aid in prompt and comprehensive evaluation and management.

For many diseases, women’s physiology and life-cycle hormonal changes demand important consideration when determining healthcare management options. Age- and gender-related factors can directly affect treatment outcomes, and differences between the clinical management of, say, an adolescent female and that in a pre- or postmenopausal patient may be either subtle or profound. At the same time, there are certain conditions that are far more prevalent in women than men, and these may require special attention. Furthermore, in an increasingly aged population in which women demonstrate a greater life-expectancy.
