Abstract:
Vesicouterine fistula (VUF) represents a rare urogenital complication. It is considered to be the least common type of urogenital fistulae. Surgical repair remains the mainstay of treatment. Transabdominal repair is the most common surgical method and transvaginal route is rarely reported. Herein, we presented the successful transvaginal repair of 3 cases of VUF in our center, including 2 cases of vesicocervical fistula and 1 case of high vesico-uterine body fistula.All the 3 VUF cases were repaired through vagina and followed up for 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, respectively. There was no vaginal leakage or hematuria postoperatively. VUF was cured. Transvaginal repair of VUF was shown to be a feasible, safe and effective procedure with small trauma.
