“…Colouterine fistulas are extremely rare, but the few cases reported in the literature have all been the results of complicated diverticular disease [1][2][3][4]. To the best of our knowledge, a malignant colouterine fistula has not been reported previously and, as a result, no surgical technique has been described.…”

Colouterine fistula is a rare clinical entity. A literature search revealed only a few reports dealing with this complex problem, mostly resulting as a complication of diverticular disease of the colon. During a 4-month period, we diagnosed and successfully treated 2 women with a malignant colouterine fistula originating from a primary colorectal carcinoma invading the uterus. We herein report on our experience dealing with this kind of pathology, with special emphasis on the surgical technique used to resect the tumoral mass "en bloc".

“…3 Case with colouterine fistula in which sonohysterography detected the flow from uterine cavity to the sigmoid colon through the posterior uterine wall, thus confirming the diagnosis. 4 3D Scan and 2D power Doppler are highly accurate in detecting caesarean section scar dehiscence and uterine fistula. The diagnosis in our case was suspected on USG and MRI and confirmed by hysteroscopy and laparoscopy.…”

Uterine fistulas are very rare and can be due to gynaecological surgery, trauma or infections. 17 year old unmarried girl presented with uteroperitoneal fistula, following left salpingo-oophorectomy for torsion of left adnexae done one year ago outside. She came with increasing dysmenorrhea since surgery. USG & MRI showed cystic mass left cornual area. Vaginoscopy & Hystero-laparoscopy showed a thick longitudinal vaginal septum, uni-cornuate uterus with left horn non-communicating with cervix but open into the peritoneal cavity, the false passage being the result of previous surgery. Excision of vaginal septum and laparoscopic excision of the horn and repair provided very good relief, till now (8months from surgery).
