Complex vesicovaginal fistulas still represent a management problem, since most of the cases have been operated on previously and because of the lack of a completely successful surgical technique. A new procedure for vesical autoplasty is presented. A flap is obtained from the posterosuperior bladder wall that slides down to cover large lesions, even in low capacity reservoirs. The technique has shown excellent long-term results in 42 consecutive complicated cases.

Objective: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a pathological communication between the urinary bladder and the vagina. The most common cause of VVF is hysterectomy, while less common causes include obstetric trauma and pelvic surgery. Most cases require surgical intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Isolated vaginal vault recurrence of endometrial cancer can sometimes be treated effectively with rescue radiotherapy, but surgery is often preferred for patients who have previously undergone radiation.
- Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVFs) can develop following surgical interventions due to damaged pelvic tissue from prior treatments, complicating the patient's recovery and management.
- The case study presents a woman who experienced a VVF after robotic surgery for endometrial cancer, ultimately benefiting from a conservative treatment approach involving prolonged catheterization and laser therapy, which successfully resolved the fistula.

Article Synopsis
- A 43-year-old woman developed both UVF and VVF after a total hysterectomy and initially tried conservative treatment, which didn't work.
- She then underwent a successful surgical procedure to correct the issues and has remained symptom-free for a year, highlighting the importance of recognizing and managing these rare fistula formations effectively.
Transvaginal double-layer parallel in-situ suturing for early complex vesicovaginal fistula repair: Case report.

Department of Urology, Linyi Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, Shandong Province, China.
Rationale: Complex vesicovaginal fistulas (VVFs) with large defects pose significant surgical challenges. Traditional repair methods often require extensive tissue separation and multilayer suturing, risking local blood supply and healing. This study introduces a novel modified transvaginal repair technique that simplifies the procedure while preserving tissue vascularity.

Objectives: To highlight critical preoperative and intraoperative considerations in approaching fistula repair robotically.
Methods: A search of the literature was conducted to identify relevant articles pertaining to robotic management of urinary fistulae.
Results: Fistulae of the genitourinary tract can be a challenging dilemma for urologists, as definitive management may require surgical intervention.
