[Technical and peri-operative differences between the transvesical and extravesical approach in laparoscopic repair of vesico-vaginal fistula.]

CONCLUSION: In the L/R R of the VVF, the Extravesicaltechnique offers technical and perioperative advantages,so it must be the technique of choice for most VVFwith indication of abdominal approach. Transvesicaltechnique should be reserved for recurrent, recurrent,inflammatory fistulas, with difficulties identifying the fistulous orifice, close to ureteric orifice and with imminent need for ureteral reimplantation.
