Laparoscopic Transvesical Mesh Removal and Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Complications associated with anterior vaginal wall mesh used during transvaginal surgery for prolapse occur more frequently than in other areas of the vagina. A vesicovaginal fistula is one of the rare complications of anterior vaginal wall mesh surgery. Case: A 69-year-old woman with a history of anterior vaginal wall prolapse developed a vesicovaginal fistula within days of undergoing anterior transvaginal mesh surgery. A transvesical laparoscopic approach was used to resect the bladder mesh. Then an extravesical vesicovaginal fistula repair was performed. Conclusion: Laparoscopy can be an alternative to simultaneous bladder mesh removal and surgical correction of a vesicovaginal fistula.
