| Review Title: | Robotic-assisted surgery—A highly effective modality for vesicovaginal fistula repairs |
| Abstract: | Purpose of Review: To summarize recent experience with robotic vesicovaginal fistula repair and describe the contemporary technique. Recent Findings: Robotic vesicovaginal repair has been tested at multiple centers, with similar outcomes to open surgery. It has benefits including decreased hospital stay, less blood loss, and similar long-term outcomes. As long as the surgeon is experienced in robotic surgery, this technique appears to be promising. Summary: Robotic vesicovaginal repair results in similar outcomes to open surgery with decreased morbidity. © 2023, This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply. |
