Neobladder‐vaginal fistula after cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder construction

Abstract

The development of a NVF is a significant complication after cystectomy. Inadvertent injury to the vaginal wall is an important predisposing factor to subsequent NVF development. The repair of a NVF is often difficult; upon diagnosis, conversion to a continent cutaneous urinary diversion may be considered.
