Video Summary
The video discusses the laparoscopic repair technique for vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). The procedure involves identifying the fistula tract through cystoscopy and inserting a stent for easier identification. Laparoscopy is performed to visualize the pelvis, followed by dissection at the vesicovaginal junction. The fistula tract is excised and the bladder and vaginal defects are closed separately. The closure is done in layers using absorbable sutures, ensuring watertightness. An omental flap can be created if needed. Postoperatively, suprapubic catheter drainage is maintained to facilitate healing. The technique has shown successful outcomes in an outpatient setting at the Atlanta Center of Laparoscopic Urogynecology. (No credits mentioned)
