About Vesicovaginal Fistula

A vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair is a specialized surgical procedure performed by an obstetrician and gynecologist to close an abnormal opening (fistula) between the bladder and the vagina. This condition causes continuous, involuntary leakage of urine from the vagina. The surgery aims to restore normal anatomy and urinary continence. The approach can be vaginal, abdominal (open or laparoscopic), or robotic, depending on the fistula's size, location, and complexity. It is a delicate procedure that requires meticulous dissection and multi-layered closure to ensure a watertight seal and prevent recurrence. Successful repair significantly improves a patient's quality of life, physical comfort, and social well-being.
