Sumario:Minimally invasive surgical approaches have become highly popular in line with technological advancements. In vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair, numerous minimally invasive surgical techniques have been described, namely, laparoscopic, robotic, and transvaginal techniques, and used. However, these techniques still require invasiveness. In this report, we present a patient with iatrogenic VVF on whom we applied a novel “zero-incision” technique, Natural Orifice Transurethral Endoscopic Vesicovaginal Fistula (NOTE-VVF) treatment, to repair the fistula tract by advancing the laparoscopic trocar through a natural orifice, i.e., urethra.
