Popis:	The authors reported the preliminary results of levator ani muscle flap in the treatment of vesicovaginal fistula.Twenty-six patients whose age varied between 13 and 18 years (mean: 30 years) are selected. All the patients are treated by the vaginal approach using the part of superficial rectal fibers of the levator ani muscle.Among the 26 patients, 14 are free after the first cure of vesicovaginal fistula (54%), and 4 patients (15%), after the treatment of some complications.The musculofascial levator ani flap with its vascular pedicle and its mobilisation can successfully close the vesicovaginal fistula. The preliminary results obtained (88%) tie up with that previously described in the literature.
