Robotic transvesical vesicovaginal fistula repair: technical point from a tertiary center.
Background: The aim of this study was to report the institutional experience with robot-assisted trans-vesical vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) repair focusing on technical points.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with VVF who came to our observation between December 2020 and January 2024 were included in the analysis. Beyond computed tomography scan, all patients underwent pre-operative cystoscopy; a cystography could also be executed. All patients were scheduled for robot-assisted repair with trans-vesical approach.
Results: Five VVFs were developed after previous gynecological surgery, while one occurred after a urological surgical procedure. The median operative time was 137 min [interquartile range (IQR) (99-150)]. Intraoperative blood loss was negligible. The average hospital stay was six days. The urinary catheter was removed within four weeks (median catheterization time, 16.5 days) (IQR 14-27) after cystography was negative for leakages. One patient reported fever within three months from surgery (Clavien II). Pathology reports were negative for malignancies in all cases. No recurrences were reported during the follow-up.
Conclusions: Robotic repair of VVF with a trans-vesical approach represents a safe and effective surgical option.
期刊介绍:
Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies (MITAT) is an international forum for endoscopic surgeons, interventional radiologists and industrial instrument manufacturers. It is the official journal of the Society for Medical Innovation and Technology (SMIT) whose membership includes representatives from a broad spectrum of medical specialities, instrument manufacturing and research. The journal brings the latest developments and innovations in minimally invasive therapy to its readers. What makes Minimally Invasive Therapy and Allied Technologies unique is that we publish one or two special issues each year, which are devoted to a specific theme. Key topics covered by the journal include: interventional radiology, endoscopic surgery, imaging technology, manipulators and robotics for surgery and education and training for MIS.
