Over the past 20 years, the discussion concerning vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair has evolved from strictly transabdominal/transvaginal to including minimally invasive surgeries. The original natural orifice approach through the vagina allows for VVF repair with decreased morbidity and minimal convalescence with success rates upwards of 90 %. For surgeries that involve a narrowed/stenotic vagina or a need for a concomitant abdominal procedure, transadominal surgery can be performed by…
