ABSTRACT

Recurrent vesicovaginal fistulae represent a clinical problem of the utmost importance due to the impact on the patients’ quality of life. The current standard of treatment for this problem is surgical, with an abdominal approach, notwithstanding, may authors state that this repair should be done with the technique and approach that the surgeon feels most comfortable. We have successfully treated two patients with recurrent vesicovaginal fistulae using a vaginal approach, therefore we suggest it as a viable alternative in the treatment of this condition. We present two case reports an literature review, with the necessary modifications of the Latzko technique.
