Abstract

A uterocutaneous fistula is a rare condition with a few reports in the literature. A 29-year female presented to our department with infected discharge at her previous Pfannenstiel incision. She was P3+1 with her last hysterotomy 16 months back due to previous two cesarean sections and missed miscarriage at 24 weeks of gestational amenorrhea. Over a period of time, she developed a fistulous tract between uterus and anterior abdominal wall and had pussy discharge from the same. MRI showed a fistulous tract extending from the endometrial cavity till the anterior abdominal wall. Her laparotomy was done. The fistulous tract was removed and uterus was repaired successfully. Key Words: Fistula, Uterus, Hysterotomy.
