Purely Transurethral Suture Cystorrhaphy

Abstract

Introduction:

This video shows the novel technique and our experience of repairing urinary bladder defect with purely transurethral approach.

Materials and Methods:

We performed cystoscopy with intravesical suture in four cases of bladder defect that are persistent vesicovaginal fistula, iatrogenic bladder perforation, vesicouterine fistula, and bladder defect followed by bladder cuff excision.

Results:

These patients have had effective resolution of urine leakage after undergoing transurethral repair.

Conclusions:

Transurethral suture cystorrhaphy is a safe and effective option for bladder defect repair.
