    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Vesicoenteric fistulas (VEFs) pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for urologists and general surgeons.
    • Recurrent urinary symptoms may indicate an underlying enteric origin, necessitating prompt diagnosis to avoid delays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of recognizing VEFs and their enteric origins.
    • To emphasize the role of preoperative evaluation in selecting appropriate surgical repair strategies (one-stage vs. multistage).

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical cases involving vesicoenteric fistulas.
    • Analysis of diagnostic approaches and preoperative evaluations.
    • Evaluation of surgical outcomes for different repair methods and etiologies.

    Main Results:

    • Awareness of enteric origins can prevent diagnostic delays for VEFs.
    • Careful preoperative assessment guides the choice between one-stage and multistage repairs, leading to excellent outcomes.
    • Malignant VEFs have a poor prognosis; fistulas from radiation necrosis or recurrent tumors also have limited outlooks.
    • Patients with VEFs due to diverticular disease or Crohn's disease can achieve complete correction with low morbidity and mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Accurate preoperative evaluation is crucial for successful VEF management.
    • Surgical approach selection (one-stage vs. multistage) impacts patient outcomes.
    • Etiology significantly influences prognosis, with benign causes offering better outcomes than malignant or radiation-induced fistulas.
