Abstract
Background: Operative laparoscopy was performed for the management of ovarian remnant syndrome involving the bladder, bowel, vagina, and ureters, and requiring extensive dissection. A vesicovaginal fistula developed postoperatively. Case: Because of the complexity and location of the fistula, a vaginal approach was not appropriate. Using techniques of videolaparoscopy, videocystoscopy, and operative laparoscopy, the fistula was repaired. Conclusion: In experienced hands, endoscopic management of complex vesicovaginal fistulas may be an alternative to the traditional abdominal approach.
