Abstrakt: The main objection to radical hysterectomy and pelvic node dissection as a method of primary treatment for cervical carcinoma is the inherent danger to the ureters that may result in ureterovaginal fistula formation. The purpose of this paper is twofold: (1) to show that with adoption of certain surgical and clinical measures our incidence of fistula formation has been significantly reduced, and (2) to discuss the management of ureterovaginal fistula when it occurs.
