Video Summary

In this video, a case study is presented involving a 50-year-old female who experienced persistent urine leakage from the vagina after undergoing a urethral diverticulum repair. The video demonstrates the LATSCO technique for the management of a urethrovaginal fistula. The procedure involves cannulating the fistula tract, performing hydrodissection, making an incision around the fistula opening, and dissecting the surrounding tissue. Instead of excising the fistula tract, the LATSCO technique leaves it in place. A fat pad graft from the right labia majora is mobilized and used to cover the fistula repair. Postoperative results show no leakage of urine and well-healed vaginal epithelium. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
