Uterocutaneous Fistula due to Uncontrolled Diabetes: A Case Report

Uterocutaneous fistula is a rare complication. Here we report a ۳۱-year-old pregnant woman with a history of cesarean section and diabetes who came to our clinic with labor pains and reduced fetal mobility. Nine days after the cesarean section, she referred to us again with a complaint of bloody discharge in the surgical wound. With further examination, uterocutaneous fistula was diagnosed in this patient and due to infection at the surgical wound and inside the fistula, antibiotic treatment was put on the agenda. This report shows the importance of the cause, diagnosis, and management of this complication.
