REPARACIÓN VÍA VAGINAL DE LA FÍSTULA VESICO-VAGINAL (FVV): EXPERIENCIA EN UN CENTRO DE ATENCIÓN TERCIARIA EN VENEZUELA
Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) is a patholo-gy with serious social repercussions; its resolution can be achieved through multiple surgical, abdominal or vaginal techniques, the choice of which will generally depend on the characteristics of the fistula and the expe-rience of the surgeon.OBJETIVE: We describe our experience with vaginal approach to treat VVF using different flap interpositions. METHODS: A retrospective review of the charts of VVF patients attended at University Hospital of Caracas(UHC) during the 2009 - 2016 period was undertaken. The follow up period ranged from 3 months to 7 years, with an average of 2 years and 6 months. RESULTS: Of a total of 22 cases of VVF, most had a single orifice, retrotrigonal position, with an average di-ameter of 9.5 mm. A peritoneal flap was used in 77.27 % of the cases, Martius flap in 13.63 %, and omen-tum and vaginal mucosa each in 4.54 % of the cases. Success rate was 90.91%. Failure occurred in 2 cases (9.09%), due to relapse of the pathology. Morbidity rate was 13.64%, mainly due to urinary tract infections. CONCLUSION: The vaginal technique for the treatment of VVF is safe and effective with low recurrence rate and complications.
