summary
- Introduction. A majority of vesico-vaginal fistulas, arising during gynecological or obstetrics operations, are effectively treated by vaginal or abdominal surgery. Durable bladder drainage and/or coagulation, scarification of the fistulas channel make possible the closure of the small fistulas.
- The aim of this study is to present a new method of the treatment of vesico-vaginal fistulas with the use of fibrin tissue glue inserted during cystoscopy.
- Material and method. With the use of the author\'s own method of tissue glue insertion cystoscopically, the successful treatment of two women with vesico-vaginal fistulas was performed. The time of follow up is 3 and 4 years, respectively.
- Conclusion. Presented method of endoscopic insertion of the tissue glue may be effective in the treatment of small vesico-vaginal fistulas.
