Large vesicovaginal fistulae, particularly those associated with urethral loss, present formidable repair problems. Omentum, recognized for its role in resolving abdominal infection, is successfully used for pedicle grafts in these complex situations. The authors present their experience in 25 cases, describing modifications of an earlier procedure.
