Early Closure of Posthysterectomy Vesicovaginal Fistulas

Abstract

This report presents the results of early closure of 11 posthysterectomy vesicovaginal fistulas, using a modified transvaginal approach. Early repair of this complication is acceptable and probably desirable. Review of the English literature indicate that these 11 patients comprise the single largest series of patients treated by early vaginal repair.
