Transvaginal closure of supratrigonal vesicovaginal fistula requires surgeon experience and has a defined learning curve.
The average success rate for procedures improved significantly from 10% to over 85% after 20 cases were performed.
Follow-up of 40 cases showed urinary tract infections as the only postoperative complication among patients.
Surgeons new to vaginal surgery may require around 20 cases to achieve consistent success without complications.
