Vesico Vaginal Fistula

Objectives: To evaluate outcome of surgical repair of VVF with transabdominal and transvaginalapproaches. Design of study: Prospective study. Setting: Depart of Urology Bahawal Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur.Period: Jan 1999 to Dec 2004. Materials & Methods: All consecutive patients with VVF irrespective of age andaetiology were included in this study. Patients with very large VVF and involvement of bladder neck were excluded.These patients were analysed for results of surgical repair by trans-abdominal and transvaginal approaches. ResultsThis study included 26 patients with age range between 20-48 years (mean age of 34 years). Etiology of VVF wasobserved to be transabdominal hysterectomy in 15 patients, transvaginal hysterectomy in one patient. While obstructedprolonged labour caused VVF in 10 patients. Transabdominal repair was done in 18 patients while 08 patients haveundergone transvaginal repair after investigations and evaluation. We achieved 94.45% success with transabdominalrepair of VVF while 100% success with transvaginal repair. Conclusions:The etiology of this disease is preventable.It is best to wait for at least 03 months after occurrence of VVF, so that inflammatory changes due to previous surgery/birth trauma may have settled completely before attempting at repair. Best resultrs are achieved at first attempt ofrepair. Both approaches of surgical repair of VVF have good results.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of surgical repair in patients with vesico-vaginal fistula at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital. Material & Method: A retrospective study of 30 patients with vesico-vaginal fistula, who underwent surgical repair of the fistula at Urology Department Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital between the period of 1998-2008, were reviewed. Patients were analyzed with regard to age, location of fistula, etiology, size of fistula, and surgical approach. The outcome of the surgery was analyzed. Results: This study included 30 patients who underwent surgery with age between 18-69 years old. The most common etiology was due to obstetrical trauma and hysterectomy. Bladder trigone was the most common location of fistulae (40%). During the surgery the transvesical (43%) approach was commonly used. However, the most excellent outcome was surgery by transvesical-transvaginal approach (100%). Success rate of fistula repair was 73%. Conclusion: This disease is a medically and psychosocially devastating condition for the patient. The diagnosis was easy but complicated in decision of treatment. Best results were observed by transvesical-transvaginal approach. Keywords: Vesico-vaginal fistulae, surgical approach, surgical outcome.

Objectives: Surgery is the only effective therapy for the majority of Vesico-Vaginal (V-V) fistulae. The current research assessed the effect of a planned program of pre- and postoperative physiotherapy and health education on the outcome of V-V fistula surgery. Methods: We examined the postoperative outcomes of two groups of women with V-V fistulae recruited and followed up on by two local nonprofit organizations at a hospital in Saudi Arabia on April-October 2021. The first group of women (n = 99) underwent fistula repair using conventional procedures. The second group (n = 112) had a standardized surgical technique as well as a systematic pre- and postoperative health education and physiotherapy regimen. Results: The training had a strong favorable influence on overall recovery and urine incontinence in particular. The chances of recovery after physiotherapy were 2.7 times higher for women in the physiotherapy group than for control patients, and the likelihood of postoperative stress incontinence was significantly higher for patients in the control group than for those in the physiotherapy group (P value 0.001). Conclusion: A planned program of health education and physiotherapy provided by skilled nurses and physiotherapists increases the chance of a satisfactory result after V-V fistula repair surgery.

Vesico Vaginal Fistula

Aims: Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) is an abnormal fistulous communication between the bladder and/or urethra and the vagina that allows continuous involuntary discharge of urine into the vaginal vault affecting patients’ medical, physical, mental, social and sexual life. The aim of this study was to review and deliver a profile, their demography and outcome in the early phase of fistula surgery performed in our institute. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 222 patients who underwent fistula surgery during the period of January 2012 to March 2018 in Kathmandu Model Hospital. The fistula were classified according to Goh`s system.  Patients’ demography, obstetric characteristics and fistula repair outcomes were reviewed. The primary outcome was in terms of urinary continence. Results: A total of 222 women aged between 10 to 65 years with a mean age of 31.4 were included. Majority of the patients had fistula due to obstetrical cause, contributing 58% (n=127) and in 42 % (n=95) of patients had fistula of gynecological etiology. Most of the patients had fistula of type 1a, contributing 38% (n=84) and only 0.01% (n=3) of type 3c and 4b according to Goh’s classification. Among 127 fistulas repaired of obstetric etiology100 (78.7%) patients and 85 (89.4%) out of 95 fistula patients of gynecological cause were continent and dry. Conclusions:  Our study showed obstructed and prolonged labor was the major cause of obstetric fistula, however iatrogenic fistula was also becoming common. Majority of our cases had successful outcome with some degree of stress in some patients.
