PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the outcomes of benign, primary @entity789 ( @entity789 ) treated using the transabdominal transvesical technique and the transvaginal technique without tissue interposition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 53 consecutive @entity1 with VVF who were treated between September 1999 and October 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. @entity1 with a malignant etiology and/or prior irradiation were excluded because they required a more complex repair. In the first group, the repair was performed using the transabdominal transvesical technique (n = 28). After one of our fellows had completed his urogynecology training, he began to perform the repairs using the transvaginal technique (n = 25). All included VVF @entity1 were treated without a tissue interposition. RESULTS: @entity789 repair was performed in 53 @entity1 , with a mean age of 41.4 _plusmn; 15.2 years. There was no significant difference in terms of the @entity1 ' age, @entity292 size, and the number of deliveries between the groups. All cases failed in terms of conservative management. The size of the @entity292 ranged from 15 to 20 mm. The admission time was between 3 days and 21 years, and it was longer in less educated @entity1 . The success rate was 96.4% (27/28) in the transabdominal transvesical group and 100% (25/25) in the transvaginal group (P = 1.00). The hospitalization period and complications were significantly reduced in the transvaginal group (P = .00 and P = .004, respectively). No @entity1 converted from a transvaginal to a transabdominal repair. There was only one recurrence in the transabdominal transvesical group.The @entity1 were followed up for 1 year. CONCLUSION: Transvaginal repair of benign, primary @entity789 is more advantageous than transabdominal transvesical repair. There was a significant decrease in the hospitalization period and complications rates using the transvaginal technique without tissue interposition._nbsp.
