Robotic Repair of Supratrigonal Vesicovaginal Fistula with Sigmoid Epiploica Interposition

摘要

Introduction and Hypothesis:In the United States, vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) most often results from gynecologic surgery causing significant morbidity and distress to both the patient and surgeon. The use of tissue interposition at time of primary repair has been advocated to decrease the risk of recurrence. The aim of this study is to describe our experience with interposition of sigmoid epiploica during robotic extravesical repair of supratrigonal VVF.
