title: [Vesicovaginal fistulas with special reference to therapeutic possibilities and time].
abstract: We report our own results of minimally invasive treatment in eight women with vesicovaginal fistula after gynecologic surgery. Minimally invasive or non-operative measures include fulguration of the fistula area and bladder drainage. In addition to our own results, the paper gives a review of the treatment of vesicovaginal fistulae. With respect to the literature we compare and discuss the possible procedures, surgical as opposed to conservative of minimally invasive. We also focus on the results of non-delay in the treatment of vesicovaginal fistulae. The results of non-delay and minimally invasive therapy are interesting, and it seems that these possibilities could be offered to some patients prior to or instead of surgery.
