SARAMAGO, Sofia; ALVES, Luísa; REIS, José  and  GRACA, Bruno. Laparoscopic repair of post-hysterectomy vesicovaginal fistula. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.3, pp.187-191. ISSN 1646-5830.

Currently, in developed countries, vesicovaginal fistulas are mostly complications of gynecologic surgery. Laparoscopic vesicovaginal fistula repair has been reported with good results. We describe a technique to successfully repair, by laparoscopy, a vesicovaginal fistula following total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign pathology. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of vesicovaginal fistula repair using a laparoscopic technique in Portugal.

Keywords : Vesicovaginal fistula; Hysterectomy; Laparoscopy.
