Objectives: To describe the experience of 43 patients with Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) and laparoscopic repair between 2009 and 2020, and analyze its behavior and evolution. Methods: Analysis of 43 patients diagnosed with supratrigonal VVF secondary to hysterectomies, which were resolved laparoscopically. Results: The VVF is a complication that happen in middle-aged women often fertile period, and clearly demonstrated by the history of surgery or gynecological procedure. The patients were diagnosed with vesicovaginal fistula, they were operated on by laparoscopic technique. Mean operative time was 172 minutes. No patient required blood transfusion and the mean hospital stay was 3.7 days. No complications or relapses, with an average follow up of 12 months. Conclusion: Laparoscopic repair of VVF is a safe, minimally invasive and reproducible in trained hands.
