Background: Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF) is a major cause for concern in many developing countries with significant morbidity. Among the different techniques abdominal approach of VVF repair is important one. Objective: To find out the outcome of VVF repair by abdominal approach. Materials and Methods: It is a prospective study. Twenty-three patients with VVF were operated with abdominal approach from the period of January 2016 to January 2019. Age of patients, co-morbidities, cause, size and location of VVF were evaluated. Then abdominal approach of VVF repair was done. Operative time and need of blood transfusion were encountered. Post operative (POD) urine leakage, wound infection or other complications were enlisted. Patients were discharged with keeping urethral catheter for 14 days. Follow up was done after 1 and 3 month and in each follow up history and physical examination was done. All collected data were evaluated. Results: Mean age of the patient was 40 years. Among the 23 patients 12 (52%) patients had history of total abdominal hysterectomy, 9 had history of caesarian section and 2 cases had history of pelvic surgery. VVF repair was done at least 12 weeks after its occurrence. Operative time ranged from 90 minutes to 150 minutes. In the immediate POD no obvious complications were noted except one patient developed wound infection on 7th POD. Follow-up done as per schedule and no recurrence of VVF noted. Conclusion: VVF repair through abdominal approach is a feasible, safe and effective technique if performed meticulously. KYAMC Journal Vol. 11, No.-3, October 2020, Page 129-132

In a retrospective study, the records of 34 women with a mean ± SD age of the patients was 36.62 ± 9.02 years were assessed; 32.35% of the vesico-vaginal Fistula (VVF) occurred after abdominal hysterectomy, 11.77% after Caesarean section, 32.35% after difficult vaginal delivery and 23.53% after instrumental delivery. Six women (17.64%) had a previous failed repair. The duration (mean ± SD) of the VVF was 5.68 ± 1.59 months. Of the 34 VVF patients, 20 (58.82%) were Mid-Vaginal VVF, 8 (23.53%) were Circumferential VVF, 3 (8.82%) were Juxta cervical VVF and 3 (8.82%) were Juxta Urethral VVF. An abdominal approach was used in 21 cases (61.76%), vaginal repair was contemplated in 8 (23.53%) cases and Laparoscopic in 5 (14.71%). At a mean duration of follow-up was 33.06 ± 1.72 months and the VVF was cured in 28 (82.4%) patients. Only previous intervention and timing of surgery (P=0.004) and surgical approach (P=0.02) maintained significance in our study. An abdominal/ Laparoscopic approach seems to give superior results. Previous failed repair had a significant negative effect on success. A late repair (≥6 months) is associated with higher success rates.

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.
