Özet

Background Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is an epithelium-lined communication between the urinary bladder and vagina. Most of VVFs are repaired by conventional open surgery. Laparoscopic repair of VVFs is rare and so far no report is available about laparoscopic repair of persistent VVF using fleece-bound sealing system as a tissue barrier in the literature. Here we describe the operative technique and briefly review the literature.
