Treatment and study plan

Laparoscopic Extravesical Fistula Excision of Uterovesical Fistula

Procedure

Laparoscopic Combined Fistula Excision of Uterovesical Fistula

Procedure
  • In the combined approach, bladder will be opened bivalved till the site of the fistula. Scar tissue around the orifice of the fistula will be removed and trimmed. Careful dissection around the bladder and uterus will be done to suture both walls and place an intervening omentum in-between.
