Right and Left Sided Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Ureterovaginal Fistula Repair is Facilitated by Lighted Stents - Video

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses two cases of ureterovaginal fistula after hysterectomy. The first patient is a 49-year-old who had the fistula for two years before referral, and the second patient is a 35-year-old morbidly obese patient. Prior to surgery, both patients were sent to interventional radiology for stenting, which was unsuccessful. During surgery, a lighted stent was used to identify and dissect the ureter. The distal ureter and fistula's tract were ligated and the bladder was mobilized. A cystotomy was created for ureter tunneling, and the ureter was anastomosed to the bladder. Intracorporeal stenting was performed and the repair was watertight. The video also discusses the incidence, risk factors, and management of ureterovaginal fistula. The use of lighted stents in robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureterovaginal fistula repair was highlighted as a beneficial tool for visualization.
