Management of vesicovaginal fistulas after gynecologic surgery

Abstract

The choice of repair method depends on surgeon's training (gynecology vs. urology). The vaginal route should be the first choice because it does not compromise the success rate and the mean hospitalization time is less. For the transvaginal approach, access to the lesion is the most important factor for the success of the procedure. No flap is needed for tissues that appear well vascularized.
