CERVICAL CANCER COMPLICATED WITH BLADDER INVASION – СASE REPORT

Abstract

Cervical cancer with bladder invasion (CCBI), classified as stage IVA according to the
International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), accounts for approximately 2% of cervical
cancers. We present a clinical case of cervical cancer complicated by bladder invasion. Ultrasound
and CT of abdominal organs were used for preoperative preparation. Postoperatively, for the patient it
was necessary to have a left nephrostomy and a left iliac colostomy surgically placed. Furthermore, the
development of vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF) is common, with retrospective data showing that vesicovaginal
fistula occurs in up to 50% of stage IVA cases, with no established predictive factors.
