Vesicovaginal fistula is a serious urological problem that causes uncontrolled leakage of urine from the vagina due to an unwanted connection forming between the bladder and the vagina. This can significantly affect the patient's daily life, social relationships and psychological state.
Vesicovaginal fistulas most often occur after gynecological or pelvic surgeries, but can also develop after birth trauma, radiotherapy and infections. In suitable patients, robotic surgery is considered a modern and effective treatment option for fistula repair.
The patient's history, clinical examination and endoscopic evaluations are very important in diagnosing vesicovaginal fistula. The fistula's location, size and relationship to surrounding tissue are determined in detail with imaging methods and special tests.
This evaluation process guides the timing of surgical repair and the planning of the method to be used.
Robotic surgery offers significant advantages for treating vesicovaginal fistulas that require high-precision repair. Thanks to 3D visualization, enhanced surgical dexterity and tremor elimination, the fistula tract can be repaired in a controlled and safe manner.
The robotic approach can provide advantages such as preserving surrounding tissue, less tissue trauma and a faster recovery. With proper patient selection, lasting and successful results are the aim.
After surgical treatment, patients are followed up regularly. Urinary control, the recovery process and possible complications are closely monitored. Supportive treatment approaches may be planned if needed.
The main goal of the treatment process is to permanently repair the fistula, resolve the urinary incontinence problem and restore the patient's quality of life.
