It is characterized by the replacement of smooth muscle fibers with fibrous tissue, as well as abnormalities in myometrial vascularization, innervation, and architecture. These abnormal changes impair the function of the uterus and increase the risk of obstetric and gynecological complications. The rising global cesarean section rates continue to be a major concern. In Russia, they were 30.1% in 2022, which is comparable to North America (32.3%), lower than in Latin America (40.5%) and Turkey (57.2%), but considerably higher than the WHO-recommended threshold of 10%–15%. As cesarean section rates increase, so does the number of patients with postoperative uterine scars and specific complications. These complications include isthmocele with myometrial thinning at the scar site (residual myometrial thickness at the scar site &lt; 3–2.5 mm on ultrasound). Preconception monitoring is used to minimize risks, with surgical treatment (metroplasty) as indicated. Metroplasty, however, carries the risk of complications such as genital fistulas, which are uncommon but clinically significant. This article presents a clinical case of a uterocervicovaginal fistula after vaginal metroplasty. According to the medical history, a patient with uterine isthmocele in the lower segment had a spontaneous singleton pregnancy after surgical treatment. The pregnancy ended in abortion with expulsion of the gestational sac through the fistulous opening. The patient underwent repeat surgery at the Department of Operative Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology with Day Hospital, V.I. Krasnopolsky Moscow Regional Research Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The procedure aimed to restore the anatomic integrity of the reproductive organs and to provide preconception care for a future pregnancy. This is the first published report of this complication, highlighting its clinical and scientific significance.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рубец на матке представляет собой участок соединительной ткани в миометрии, формирующийся после хирургических вмешательств, травм или воспалительных процессов. Его формирование сопровождается замещением гладкомышечных волокон фиброзной тканью, нарушением васкуляризации, иннервации и архитектоники миометрия. Эти изменения снижают функциональную состоятельность органа и создают предпосылки для развития акушерских и гинекологических осложнений. Рост частоты кесарева сечения во всём мире остаётся актуальной проблемой. В 2022 г. в России этот показатель составил 30,1%, что сопоставимо с Северной Америкой (32,3%) и ниже, чем в Латинской Америке (40,5%) и Турции (57,2%), но существенно превышает рекомендуемый Всемирной организацией здравоохранения уровень 10–15%. Следствием роста абдоминального родоразрешения является увеличение числа пациенток с послеоперационным рубцом и специфическими осложнениями. Среди них формирование ниши (истмоцеле) с истончением зоны рубца (толщина сохранного миометрия в области рубца на матке меньше 2,5–3 мм по данным УЗИ). Для снижения рисков проводится прегравидарный мониторинг, при показаниях — хирургическая коррекция (метропластика). Метропластика сопряжена с риском осложнений, включая редкое, но клинически значимое образование генитальных свищей. В статье представлен клинический случай маточного шеечно-влагалищного свища, развившегося после влагалищной метропластики. По данным анамнеза у пациентки с нишей нижнего маточного сегмента после оперативного лечения наступила спонтанная одноплодная беременность, которая завершилась абортивной экспульсией плодного яйца через свищевое отверстие. В отделении оперативной гинекологии с онкогинекологией и дневным стационаром Московского областного научно-исследовательского института акушерства и гинекологии им. акад. В.И. Краснопольского пациентке проведено повторное оперативное лечение с целью реконструкции анатомической целостности органов репродуктивной системы, а также как этапа прегравидарной подготовки к последующей беременности. Данный случай является первым в литературе описанием подобного осложнения, что подчёркивает его клиническую и научную значимость.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p>子宫瘢痕是子宫肌层中在手术干预、创伤或炎症过程后形成的结缔组织区域。其形成伴随着平滑肌纤维被纤维组织取代，以及子宫肌层血管化、神经支配和组织结构的破坏。这些变化降低了器官的功能完整性，并为产科和妇科并发症的发生创造了前提。全球剖宫产率的上升仍然是一个亟待解决的问题。2022年，俄罗斯的这一比例为30.1%，与北美（32.3%）相当，低于拉丁美洲（40.5%）和土耳其（57.2%），但显著高于世界卫生组织建议的10–15%的水平。剖宫产分娩增加的后果是带有术后瘢痕和特定并发症的患者数量增加。其中包括憩室（子宫切口憩室）的形成，并伴有瘢痕区变薄（根据超声检查数据，子宫瘢痕处的残余肌层厚度小于2.5–3毫米）。为了降低风险，需进行孕前监测，如有指征，则进行手术矫正（子宫成形术）。子宫成形术存在并发症风险，包括罕见但具有临床意义的生殖道瘘形成。</p> <p>本文介绍了一例经阴道子宫成形术后发生的子宫颈阴道瘘的临床病例。根据病史，一名患有子宫下段憩室的患者在手术治疗后自然受孕单胎，最终孕囊经瘘口流产排出。在俄罗斯科学院院士V.I. Krasnopolskiy莫斯科地区妇产科科学研究所的手术妇科、妇科肿瘤及日间病房，患者接受了再次手术治疗，旨在恢复生殖系统器官的解剖完整性，并作为后续妊娠的孕前准备阶段。 本病例是文献中首次对该类并发症的描述，突显了其临床和科学意义。</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>fistula</kwd><kwd>metroplasty</kwd><kwd>preconception care</kwd><kwd>case report</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>свищ</kwd><kwd>метропластика</kwd><kwd>прегравидарная подготовка</kwd><kwd>клинический случай</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="zh"><kwd>瘘</kwd><kwd>子宫成形术</kwd><kwd>孕前准备</kwd><kwd>临床病例</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Postoperative scar on the uterus, requiring the provision of medical care to the mother during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period: clinical recommendations. 2021–2022–2023.
