Abstract
The author reports a case of vaginal calculi secondary to urethrovaginal fistula with vaginal stenosis in a 14-year-old girl. The initial urethrovaginal fistula and vaginal stenosis resulted from pelvic trauma after a traffic accident, with subsequent surgical urethral realignment and anterior colporrhaphy without success. The patient had continuous urinary incontinence for a duration of 11 years after surgery, and was finally diagnosed with urethrovaginal fistula with primary multiple vaginal calculi in our hospital. Surgeries were performed to remove the stones and repair the urethrovaginal fistula. Colpoplasty was also given by an obstetrician–gynecologist to solve the vaginal stenosis. After the procedure, the girl urinated normally. At her 3-month follow-up, the patient had no sign of urine leakage.
