[Repair of a vesicovaginal fistula in the ventral supine position (34 cases)].
The authors report the efficacy of a transvaginal approach in the ventral supine position for repair of vesicovaginal fistula based on a series of 34 consecutive patients. 34 patients, between the ages of 15 and 60 years, with vesicovaginal fistula (cervicotrigonal in one half of cases) of obstetric origin (73% of dystocia) in multiparous women (62% were treated by transvaginal closure of the fistula in the ventral supine position). 29 complete successes were obtained with 5 residual fistulae which were lost to follow-up. The use of the ventral supine position is valuable in the transvaginal repair of vesicovaginal fistulae.
