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.
