| Abstract | Introduction: Urogenital fistula is a physically, socially and psychologically devastating condition for the patient. In developed countries, these fistulae are typically related to gynecological surgery, pelvic pathology like malignancy or post radiation therapy. In contrast, classical teaching is that urogenital fistulae in the developing countries like India are usually associated with prolonged labor and obstetric complications. This retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care health Institute shows a paradigm shift in epidemiology, etiology and management of genitourinary fistulae in India in recent times. Methods: This retrospective study included patients undergoing surgical repair for various genitourinary fistulae at our institute from 2016 to 2022. Epidemiology, etiology, site, size and number of fistulae, clinical presentation, and management records of these patients were recorded and reviewed retrospectively. Results: In our study, the mean age of the patients was 38.4 ± 10.2 years. Vesicovaginal Fistula (VVF) was found to be most common fistula in the study population (87.5%) followed by vesicouterine (7.1%) and urethrovaginal fistula (5.4%). The causes of genitourinary fistula were iatrogenic (73.2%), carcinoma of cervix (16.1%), obstructed prolonged labor (7.1%), and genitourinary tuberculosis (3.57%). Among the 48 vesicovaginal fistulas that underwent surgery, 45.8% were treated using a transvaginal approach, 29.2% were managed through a laparoscopic transabdominal repair, and 25% were addressed using a robotic approach. Recurrence occurred in 7.1% of the operated patients. Conclusion: Enhanced healthcare services in the country have contributed to a decrease in the incidence of obstructed labor, subsequently reducing related injuries. Iatrogenic injuries resulting from gynecological surgeries and carcinoma cervix have given rise to more complex fistulas, necessitating the implementation of advanced treatment strategies. |
