BACKGROUND: Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) is a rare but debilitating condition, characterised by an abnormal connection between the bladder and vagina. While obstetric-related cases prevail in developing countries, iatrogenic fistulas are more common in industrialised ones, often resulting from pelvic surgeries.
OBJECTIVES: The optimal timing for surgical correction of VVF remains debated, often leaning towards delayed intervention. Here we report a successful early laparoscopic repair of an iatrogenic VVF following hysterectomy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The patient, a 54-year-old woman, presented with VVF after a hysterectomy. The laparoscopic repair was performed promptly upon diagnosis.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of an early repair of a gynaecological-related VVF.
RESULTS: First, cystoscopy identified the bladder edge of the VVF. Second, laparoscopy was performed and the vesico-vaginal dissection was carried out. The excision of the previous stitches and of the fibrotic tissue was undertaken to create free flaps for suturing. The bladder was repaired in a double layer, and a single layer was applied to the vagina. Finally, the omentoplasty was done. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5. No complications occurred.
CONCLUSIONS: This successful case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of early laparoscopic repair for gynaecological surgery-related vesico-vaginal fistulae. While acknowledging the need for further studies to standardise techniques, this report contributes to the evolving understanding of optimal management for this complex condition.
