About Laparoscopy Surgery for Vesicovaginal Fistula

Laparoscopic surgery for vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a urologist to repair an abnormal connection between the bladder and the vagina, which causes continuous urinary leakage. Using small keyhole incisions, a laparoscope with a camera and specialized instruments are inserted into the abdomen. The surgeon carefully identifies the fistula tract, excises the damaged tissue, and closes the defect in layers, often placing a tissue flap (like omentum) between the bladder and vagina to prevent recurrence. This advanced technique offers superior visualization, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery, making it the preferred approach for complex or recurrent fistulas when performed by an experienced specialist.

Key Highlights

Minimally invasive approach with small incisions, leading to less scarring.Reduced post-operative pain and lower risk of wound infection compared to open surgery.Enhanced magnified visualization allows for precise dissection and repair.Shorter hospital stay and quicker return to normal daily activities.High success rates for fistula closure, especially for complex or recurrent cases.Decreased blood loss during the procedure./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent vesicovaginal fistula causing continuous urinary incontinence.
Fistula recurrence after a previous failed repair attempt.
Fistulas located high in the vaginal vault or near the ureters, where laparoscopic access is advantageous.
Fistulas resulting from gynecological surgeries (e.g., hysterectomy), obstetric trauma, pelvic radiation, or malignancy.
Patient preference for a minimally invasive option with a potentially faster recovery.

How to prepare

Complete medical evaluation, including detailed history and physical examination.
Confirmatory diagnostic tests such as cystoscopy, vaginoscopy, and imaging (cystogram, CT urogram).
Pre-operative counseling regarding the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.
Management of any active urinary tract infection with antibiotics.
Bowel preparation may be advised to improve surgical field visualization.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the surgery as per anesthesia guidelines.

Risks & possible complications

General risks of anesthesia and laparoscopy (e.g., injury to blood vessels, intestines, or other organs).
Recurrence of the fistula or failure of the repair.
Urinary tract infection or persistent bladder irritability.
Injury to the ureters, potentially requiring stent placement.
Formation of a new fistula or stricture.
Post-operative pain, bleeding, or infection at incision sites.
Rare risks include deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically lasts 2-4 days for monitoring and pain management.
A urinary catheter is placed for 1-2 weeks post-surgery to allow the bladder repair to heal.
Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and sexual intercourse for 4-6 weeks.
Follow a high-fiber diet and use stool softeners to prevent straining during bowel movements.
Attend all scheduled follow-up visits for catheter removal and to assess healing via cystogram.
Report any signs of fever, severe pain, or renewed urinary leakage to the urologist immediately.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks
