Uretero-Fallopian Fistula after excision of ovarian cyst

Abstract

Injuries to the urinary tract are regrettable consequences of pelvic surgery. These often pertain to the bladder. The prevalence of iatrogenic ureteral injuries varies between 0.05% and 30%. Although certain lesions are identified intraoperatively, the majority remain undetected and manifest thereafter. Ureteral fistulas typically affect the vagina and, less commonly, the uterus. Uretero-fallopian fistulas are exceedingly uncommon. We present a case of uretero-fallopian fistula that emerged following the resection of an ovarian cyst.
