Therapies and Procedures

1. Colostomy
2. Replantation
12/01/2001 - "The vaginal fistula orifice was left open in 66% of cases, and 33% of VVFs required ureteral reimplantation. "
11/01/2000 - "Postoperative follow-up was simple in two patients, while complications occurred in the third one via an uretero-vaginal fistula which required uretero-vesical reimplantation. "
08/18/2021 - "Compared with the control group, the case group had higher BMI (P=0.013), bigger vaginal fistula (P=0.002), longer time of operation (P=0.027), higher proportion of genitourinary malformations (P=0.013), higher proportion of repeated transvaginal repair (P < 0.001), higher proportion of ureter reimplantation (P=0.006), and higher proportion of postoperative fever (P < 0.001). "
12/01/2005 - "Four patients were treated by abdominal approach: in two complex patients with vesico-uretero-vaginal fistula, the repair was associated with entero-cystoplasty and ureteral reimplantation; in one case of huge fistula following cesarean section (7 cm) a vesical flap was used; in one case we repaired a recurrent fistula in orthotopic ileal neobladder: A good outcome was achieved in all cases. "
08/18/2021 - "In the control group, the BMI was (23.9±3.0) kg/m2, the diameter of vaginal fistula was (0.8±0.5) cm, the operative time of transvaginal repair was (99.9±19.7) min, the rate of associated genitourinary malformation was 2/60, the rate of multiple transvaginal repair was 18/60, the rate of concurrent ureteral reimplantation was 5/60, and no postoperative fever was found.
