VVF repair is a surgical procedure to close an abnormal connection (fistula) between the bladder and vagina. This condition causes continuous involuntary leakage of urine through the vagina, severely impacting a woman’s physical and emotional well-being.
Who Needs ?
- Persistent leakage of urine via the vagina (even after normal urination)
- Fistula following childbirth injuries (obstructed labor)
- Post-surgical complications (hysterectomy, C-section, pelvic surgery)
- Radiation injury
- Trauma, cancer, or infections affecting the bladder or vaginal wall
How the Procedure Works:
- A thin tape is inserted through small incisions in the groin area and positioned
under the mid-urethra. - The tape acts like a “hammock” to support the urethra.
- Done under local or general anesthesia
- Usually completed in 30–45 minutes
- Same-day discharge in most cases
Advantages:
- Minimally invasive
- Quick recovery
- High success rate
- Low risk of complications
