Abstract

An urethrovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the urethra and the anterior vaginal wall. There are many ways to repair a urethrovaginal fistula, the most common being using a patient’s tissue to place between the urethra and the vagina. However, a patient’s tissue may be friable, causing a recurrence of the urethrovaginal fistula. This case report focuses on using a biologic graft dermis to successfully repair the urethrovaginal fistula
