Preliminary experience with minimally invasive transvaginal single-port laparoscopic vesicovaginal fistula repair: report of 10 cases.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
background and purposeAs a common complication following genitourinary trauma, the methods and approaches for repairing vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF) remain controversial. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, are gaining widespread attention. This study summarizes our surgical experiences and postoperative management regarding transvaginal single-port laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistulas. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 10 transvaginal single-port laparoscopic vesicovaginal fistula repairs performed in the Department of Urology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from September 2022 to August 2023. All patients had complex vesicovaginal fistulas that had been treated poorly by multiple surgeries. This analysis included the causes of the fistulas, perioperative care, and efficacy. We recorded the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospital stay, and we analyzed and summarized the surgical methods and treatment outcomes. Patients were followed up for 12 months post-surgery to assess urinary leakage and changes in their quality of life.
resultsAmong the 10 patients, the average age was 58 ± 4.10 years. All surgeries were successfully completed. The average operation time was 96 ± 15 min, with an average postoperative hospital stay of 5.70 ± 0.64 days. The urethral catheter was removed after 2 weeks of follow-up, and no patients experienced complications such as bleeding, urinary leakage, or infection. One month post-operation, both the cystomelan infusion test and cystography indicated no presence of a fistula or residual fistula tract. Follow-up cystoscopy conducted 3 months after the surgery showed that the fistula had completely healed, demonstrating remarkable surgical outcomes. One year after the surgery, the patients were asymptomatic and showed no signs of recurrence.
conclusionTransvaginal single-port laparoscopic vesicovaginal fistula repair is safe and effective in treating complex vesicovaginal fistula, while retaining bladder function to the greatest extent, and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
