Repair of Urethrovaginal Fistula Secondary to Pelvic Fracture With a Labia Minora Skin Flap in Young Girls

Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of transpubic access using a pedicle flap from the labia minora for urethral reconstruction in young girls with urethrovaginal fistula secondary to pelvic fracture. Between January 2011 and January 2016, 4 cases of traumatic urethrovaginal fistula in young girls were treated using a pedicle flap from the labia minora. The mean follow-up was 27 months. All patients voided well and achieved normal urinary control. One patient had recurrent urethrovaginal fistula. The remaining 3 patients required no additional treatment. A labia minora skin flap for urethral reconstruction in young girls with urethrovaginal fistula secondary to pelvic fractures is a reliable technique.
