ABSTRACT
Ureterovaginal fistula (UVF) is an uncommon but devastating complication of gynecologic surgery. Management includes ureteral stenting for 6-8 weeks. For stent failure, ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) through an open, laparoscopic, or robotic abdominal approach is the classic alternative. Originally pioneered for repair of vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF), the use of the vaginal approach in UVF is scarcely reported in the literature. We report the successful repair of UVF performed exclusively through the vaginal approach in two women after robotic hysterectomy. In select clinical scenarios, this approach may be applied, as it provides a minimally invasive option for managing UVF after failure of ureteral stenting.
