Abstract

This is a report of a women who failed 2 surgical repairs of vesicovaginal fistula secondary to refractory bladder spasms. After each surgical procedure - the hysterectomy and subsequent fistula repairs - the patient reported severe bladder spasms refractory to medical management. Our treatment was intradetrusor onabotuliniumtoxinA injections 4 weeks prior to a planned surgical fistula repair. The patient had successful vaginal approach fistula repair and has not required any subsequent overactive bladder (OAB) treatment.
