Abstract

Vesicovaginal fistula is one of the most common types of female genitourinary fistulas encountered in clinical practice, and its treatment is determined by the disease characteristics and at the discretion of the attending physician. The present study describes a unique conservative approach to the management of vesicovaginal fistulas. A 56‑year‑old woman developed a vesicovaginal fistula after laparoscopic hysterectomy. A bilateral ureteral single‑J tube drainage through suprapubic bladder puncture with indwelling catheterization was performed. Thus, urine diversion and bladder emptying were achieved. In addition, the healing of the vesicovaginal fistula was promoted and the trauma of open or laparoscopic surgery was avoided. This minimally invasive method is simple and convenient, has few complications, and may be used as an alternative method for treating vesicovaginal fistulas.
