Abstract

A retrospective analysis of 252 cases of vesicovaginal fistulae was done to analyse its etio-pathology and management in an Indian population. After a thorough evaluation, different techniques of fistula closure were used for repair and the results were listed. The main outcome measures were the etiology of the fistula, need for tissue interposition and cure rate per repair as well as the overall cure rate. We compared our results with literature and concluded that simple and small fistulae should be repaired with layered closure. All complicated fistulae should be repaired with tissue interposition or tissue graft. This is the first study from India compiling 10 years of experience on vesicovaginal fistula.
