Objective: To investigate the results of surgical interventions of vesicovaginal fistula secondary to obstetrical and gynecological operations. Material and methods: This is a retrospective analysis of thirty-seven patients with VVF secondary to obstetrical and gynecological operations. The demographical features, clinical features, risk factors and operation types were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the patients was 43.2±3.7 years. The etiologies of VVF were gynecological interventions in 50% of the patients, obstetrical interventions in the 40% of the patients. Trauma and radiotherapy were determined in 10% of the patients. The treatments of VVF were administered after first operation in 59% of the patients, after second operation in 89% and after third operation in 94% of the patients. Conclusions: Detailed information should be given to the patients undergoing secondary VVF repairment. The fistula localization should be determined before the operation. The possible re-intervention requirement should be explained to the patients.
