Transabdominal and transvaginal repair of vesico-vaginal fistula with bovine pericardium (Tutopatch®). A double case report.
Article in Urology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) is an abnormal connection between the bladder and vagina, usually occurring after complex oncologic gynecologic surgeries. It typically presents as continuous urinary incontinence and is diagnosed through clinical examination, imaging, and cystoscopy. Conservative management rarely achieves healing, making surgical repair the preferred option. We report two cases of VVF treated with Tutopatch®, a bovine pericardium-derived graft, used as an interposition graft via transabdominal and transvaginal approaches. Tutopatch® avoids the morbidity of autologous tissue harvesting and offers a feasible, safe, and effective alternative. It should be considered a valuable option in the surgical management of complex VVF.
