It is a fistula of the cervico-urethral intersection threatening the mechanism of continence. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of this type of fistula. <strong>Patients and Methods:</strong> This was a descriptive retrospective study on patients who have had surgery for cervico-urethral transection from June 01, 2012 to June 01, 2015. <strong>Results:</strong> Cervico-urethral transections (n = 76) accounted for 33.77% of all urogenital fistulas admitted to our department of surgery during the study period. The average age was 25.02 ± 8, 6 years. Married patients accounted for 85.58%, 72.36% had not received any classical education. Fistulas less than one year old made up 56.58% of cases, associated lesions were perineal tears 25.0%, vaginal sclerosis, 21.05%, vaginal straps, 13.15%, rectovaginal fistula, 2.63% and the shortness of the urethra less than 2.5 cm in 42.10% of cases. All surgeries were performed vaginally with a 98.68% fistula closure rate and an average of 1.68 surgeries per patient. After closure of the fistula, 10.67% of patients presented a residual urinary incontinence. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Complete cervico-urethral transection is a frequent vesicovaginal fistula. She sometimes exposes to urinary incontinence after closing the fistula. The results of his surgery are often good at the cost of multiple intervention.展开更多

We aim to study the risk factors for urinary incontinence after closure of obstetric vesicovaginal fistula in Guinea in order to develop preventive measures to reduce its incidence. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective, multiple center cohort of women operated on for obstetric vesicovaginal fistula during a 10-year period. <strong>Results:</strong> In 1770 vesicovaginal fistulas operated, 1347 were closed. 180 women (13.36%) developed urinary incontinence. After multivariate analysis, the risk factors of urinary incontinence after closure of vesicovaginal fistula were: the patient’s age, the anatomical type III, iterative surgical intervention, the brevity of the urethra and decrease in bladder capacity. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Urinary incontinence after closure of vesicovaginal fistula is a frequent problem in Guinea, the prevention of which should be integrated into the management of fistulas.展开更多

We report a 60-year-old woman with vaginal foreign body causing vesico-vaginal and recto-vaginal fistula;she died after foreign body removal due to septic shock. The patient had vaginal purulent discharge, abdominal pain, and a septic shock. A fragment of stone (limestone) was present in the vagina, which was removed. The patient developed urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence after removal of the foreign body. The examination demonstrated the presence of vesico-vaginal and recto-vaginal fistula. The patient died four days after removal of the foreign body due to septic shock and multi-visceral failure. During the extraction foreign body, bacteria could be disseminated into the systemic circulation and might cause septic shock. Thus, wide-spectrum antibiotic therapy must be used before the procedure, which may decrease the chance of septic shock.展开更多
