ABSTRACT
Injuries to the urinary bladder with development of a fistula during birth were first mentioned around 1030 AD in the opus called 'Al-Kanoun' by the Arabic physician and philosopher Avicenna (Ali Ibn Sina). The observations of D.E. Derry in the mummy of Henhenit seem to have made sure that this obstetric complication already existed earlier on. Henhenit lived at the court of king Mentuhotep II (around 2050 BC). During the second half of the 19th century injury-related and necrosis-related fistulas were distinguished for the first time. Jobert de Lamballe (1852), Marion Sims (1852), and Gustav Simon (1854) created the basis for successful operative treatment of vesicovaginal fistulas.
