Diagnostic and Management in Vesicovaginal Fistulas

Abstract

Vesicovaginal fistulas are among the most distressing complications of gynecologic and obstetric procedures. The risk of developing vesicovaginal fistula is more than 1% after radical surgery and radiotherapy for gynecologic malignancies. Management of these fistulas has been better defined and standardized over the last decade. The discussions concerning fistula repair has evolved from transabdominal/transvaginal approach to minimally invasive surgeries.
