Fistula Repair

Fistula repair is a surgical procedure used to correct an abnormal connection between the bladder or vagina and the surrounding tissues, often caused by childbirth, surgery, or radiation. In urogynecology, this repair aims to restore normal function and eliminate symptoms like leakage or discomfort. The surgeon typically uses stitches to close the fistula and, if necessary, may use tissue from the surrounding area to strengthen the repair. This procedure can significantly improve quality of life by addressing issues related to incontinence and enabling better control over urinary or vaginal function.
