Repairing Fistulas, Restoring Quality of Life
Vesicovaginal Fistula Repair is a surgical procedure designed to correct an abnormal opening between the bladder and the vagina, which can lead to continuous urine leakage and significant discomfort. This condition can affect daily activities and quality of life, but surgical repair offers a reliable solution to restore normal urinary function.
The procedure can be performed either through the vaginal approach or with advanced robotic-assisted surgery, depending on the location and complexity of the fistula. During the surgery, the surgeon carefully closes the abnormal opening, repairs the surrounding tissue, and ensures that bladder and vaginal function are restored. The goal is to provide long-term relief and prevent further leakage or complications.
Recovery after vesicovaginal fistula repair requires careful attention to post-operative instructions. Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks, follow a tailored care plan, and attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing. With proper care, most patients experience significant improvement in bladder control, comfort, and quality of life.
