Abstract
Through an endoscopic transvesico-transurethral approach, we closed a vesicovaginal fistula that occurred after hysterectomy in a patient wi th uterine leiomyoma. The 3-mm fistula, located in the midportion of r etrotrigone, was resected transurethrally and sutured in two layers th rough two 5-mm suprapubic trocars placed into the bladder and the uret hral route under pneumobladder. The patient had no urine leakage from the vagina after surgery.
