Comparing Laparoscopic and Open Surgery for Repairing Genitovesical Fistula in Women A Prospective Study on Treatment Outcomes

What this Trial Is About

Genitovesical fistula is an abnormal connection between the reproductive tract organs and the lower urinary tract in females, such as between the vagina, cervix, uterus, bladder, urethra, or pelvic ureters. This condition can seriously affect womens physical and mental health, lowering their quality of life. It often arises from surgical injuries or complicated childbirth, depending on the region. This research compares two surgical methods for repairing genitovesical fistulas in women laparoscopic repair and open surgical repair. About 50 female patients with vesicovaginal or vesicouterine fistulas will be divided into two groups, each receiving one type of repair. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive approach noted for less pain, smaller cuts, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery. Open surgery is the traditional repair method. The study will monitor outcomes over a 2-month period after surgery. Participants will undergo the assigned surgical repair, and researchers will follow their progress from baseline to two months post-operation. The main focus is evaluating the treatment success of the fistula repair. Patients will be assessed for biological and psychological effects, with attention to post-surgical recovery and complications. The total participation spans from surgery through a two-month follow-up to measure healing and treatment results.
