Objective: The objective of the study was to conduct a comparative analysis of various intraoperative parameters and postoperative outcomes between the laparoscopic extravesical repair versus the laparoscopic O'Connor repair techniques in management of supratrigonal vesicovaginal fistula.
Methods: A prospective nonrandomized study was conducted from January 2018 to January 2023, in which 36 patients who met inclusion criteria like primary or recurrent, single, simple, supratrigonal vesicovaginal fistula were included. Among these patients 18 patients were operated with laparoscopic O'Connor repair, while 18 were operated with laparoscopic transperitoneal extravesical vesicovaginal fistula repair. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters of these 2 techniques were compared.
Results: Laparoscopic O'Connor repair had longer operative time of 140 minutes, while laparoscopic extravesical VVF repair had an operative time of 117 minutes (P = .026). Mean blood loss was also significantly higher in laparoscopic O'Connor (210 mL versus 95 mL) (P = .004). Postoperative complications and analgesics requirement were less with laparoscopic extravesical repair. Hence, laparoscopic extravesical repair reduced mean hospital stay (3.2 days versus 3.9 days) (P = .003). A success rate of 83.33% for laparoscopic O'Connor and 94.45% for laparoscopic extravesical repair (P = .153) was recorded.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic extravesical approach appears to be a convenient and effective method in selective supratrigonal vesicovaginal fistula repair.

Purpose: To assess the surgical outcomes of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Extravesical Ureteral Reimplantation (RALUR-EV) in infants under one year of age with primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) as compared to older children.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 children with VUR who underwent unilateral or bilateral RALUR-EV between June 2018 and December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (25 infants under one year) and Group B (23 children over one year).

Is Postoperative Voiding Cystourethrogram Routinely Indicated Following Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Ureteral Reimplantation in Children: Time to Define the New Standards?
Urology

The Department of Urology, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether routine voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is necessary to confirm the resolution of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) after robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) in children.
- Data from 42 patients under 18 who underwent RALUR revealed a high success rate, with 87.5% of ureters showing resolved VUR post-surgery.
- The conclusion recommends that after gaining experience, routine VCUG may not be essential following RALUR, given the strong clinical success rate of 97.6%.
Isolated laparoscopic extra-vesical ureteric reimplantation (I-LEVUR) for upper moiety ectopic ureter without lower moiety vesicoureteric reflux.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research, Porur, Chennai, 600116, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the feasibility and outcomes of I-LEVUR, a surgical technique for treating upper moiety ectopic ureter in patients with a duplex renal system, which avoids reimplanting the lower ureter.
- Twelve patients, mostly young children, underwent the procedure with a mean surgical time of 127.5 minutes, and no major complications were reported post-surgery.
- Results indicated improved urinary continence in all patients after an average follow-up of about 78.5 months, suggesting that I-LEVUR is a safe and effective option that preserves normal ureter function.

Article Synopsis
- Over the last 20 years, robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has improved treatment for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in children, and this article reviews the benefits and surgical outcomes of a specific procedure called RALUR-EV.
- A literature search identified 21 studies involving 1,321 children, showing a high overall success rate (92.2% for patients, 90.9% per ureter), with an average operation time of around 175 minutes and a hospital stay of about 2 days.
- The authors emphasize the advantages of RALUR-EV while noting the varied study designs and the necessity for more standardized protocols and prospective research to fully assess its effectiveness.
