Of 92 vesicovaginal fistulas 57 (62 per cent) were closed, at least temporarily, with 1 or more operations. Functional closure was not attempted in 23 per cent of the cases and failed in 15 per cent. Various techniques were used in these cases. The favorite method involved a combination of colpocleisis, splitting the posterior wall of the bladder suprapubically and a temporary cystostomy on low pressure suction. Five patients (5.4 per cent) died postoperatively.
