Vesicovaginal and vesicocutaneous fistulas: Transurethral suture cystorrhaphy as a new closure technique

Purpose: We assessed the usefulness of endoscopic treatment of vesical fistulas. Materials and Methods: Two bladder fistula patients underwent transurethral surgery in an attempt to close the fistula. Results: Both patients were cured of the fistula, without undergoing an open procedure. Conclusions: Cystoscopically assisted suture closure of vesical fistulas can be a successful procedure in selected patients. Nontraditional instrumentation and technique allowed for transurethral closure of these fistulas.
