Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) with omentum shift.Methods Sixteen VVF patients were reviewed retrospectively from July 2007 to July 2011,aged from 34 to 72 years with a mean age of 48 years.The history of leakage of urine ranged from 1 month to 30 years,of which 15 cases due to uterine operation complication and 1 case due to IUD perforation.All cases were single fistula,with the fistula diameter ＜ 1 cm in 13 cases and ＞ 1 cm in 3 cases.Fourteen cases of fistulas were in the vaginal wall,and 2 cases were in the cervix.Surgical techniques were transabdominal laparoscopic local displacement of the great omentum and conventional layered suture repair of vesicovaginal fistula.Results All surgeries were successful.The operation time was 120 -175 min,with an average of 150 min.The blood loss was 50 -300 ml,with an average of 120 ml.The postoperative hospital stay was 6 to 10 d,with an average of 8.5 d.The catheter indwelling time was 14 to 21 d,with an average of 17 d.During the period of follow-up for 3 to 45 months with an average of 23months,14 cases cured,1 case improved and 1 case failed.No major complications such as intestinal injury occurred.Conclusions Laparoscopic repair of VVF with great omentum shift has the characteristics of less damage,less pain and positive effect.The key points of the surgery are local filling of great omentum and delicate layered suture.
