Abstract: | PURPOSE: We assessed the usefulness of endoscopic treatment of vesical fistulas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two bladder fistula patients underwent transurethral surgery in an attempt to close the fistula. RESULTS: Both patients were cured of the fistula, without undergoing an open procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Cystoscopically assisted suture closure of vesical fistulas can be a successful procedure in selected patients. Nontraditional instrumentation and technique allowed for transurethral closure of these fistulas. |
