Abstract

A uterocutaneous fistula is a rare clinical presentation that usually occurs following caesarean section and other pelvic operations. Only a few articles have been published discussing its treatments(1). We describe a patient with successful surgical management(1). We have described a patient of 21 years old P1L1 post LSCS 9 months back had presented to our OPD with a small opening in the infraumblical region since 2 months. On examination there were multiple serous discharge at LSCS scar site. It was surgically treated by exploratory laparotomy with complete fistulous tract excision. Inspite of the uncommon occurrence of uterocutaneous fistula, it should always be considered following cesearean section or any pelvic operations. It is a rare and late complication following LSCS or any other pelvic operation. Needs proper investigation and timely medical and surgical management.
