Abstract |
Vaginal pessaries are safe, simple and effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse. However, they must be fitted and followed-up correctly as serious complications can arise when pessaries are neglected. In this case report, we present the first reported case of a urethrovaginal fistula due to a neglected shelf pessary.
