The aim is to compare perioperative outcomes and identify predictors of successful repair in vesicovaginal fistula cases across different surgical approaches.
Retrospective cohort study of 78 patients undergoing vesicovaginal fistula repair.
Patients categorized into open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted groups.
Data collected on demographics, operative time, blood loss, flap use, and closure status at 3 months.
Laparoscopic and robotic techniques resulted in reduced operative time and blood loss compared to open surgery.
Success rates varied; post-hysterectomy fistulas had a 95% success rate.
Radiation-induced and trigonal fistulas had poorer closure outcomes.
