Dear doctor, A good gynecologist operated on me for excessive bleeding during menstruation in Chittorgarh. After a week of the surgery the watery discharge began and when I consulted again they informed me that I have a Vesico-Vaginal Fistula. This complication was developed by Total Laparoscopic Hystectomy. I want to know if I can repair my fistula using laparoscopic surgery and what is the success rate. Thanks. |

Dear Renu Sinha The location of the vesicovaginal fistula has bearing on the success of laparoscopic repair and the high vesicovaginal fistulas can be efficiently repaired by the Laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic and robotic surgery typically results in less harm to organs and surrounding tissue. Laparoscopic VVF repair is feasible in expert hand and may result in lower morbidity, shorter hospital stay, and quicker recovery than the abdominal open surgery fistula repair or transvaginal approaches. As you have asked about success rate so please keep in mind success depends on many factors including the size of fistula, location of fistula, age of the patient, Surgical skill of the operating surgeon and if any comorbidity of the patient. Wish you all the best. With regard Dr J S Chowhan |
