Laparoscopic Transvesical Versus Extravesical Uterovesical Fistula Repair
Both techniques demonstrated efficacy in repairing fistulas. However, the EV approach offered superior functional outcomes, with significantly better preservation of UB capacity and a lower incidence of postoperative OAB symptoms. In contrast, the TV approach may remain preferable in younger patients or those seeking uterine preservation, as it enables precise dissection and repair while minimizing risk to uterine integrity.
