Vaginal Fistula Repair

Vaginal fistula repair is a surgical procedure aimed at treating a vaginal fistula, which is an abnormal connection between the vagina and another organ, often the bladder or rectum. This condition can result from childbirth complications, surgery, or injury, leading to symptoms like leakage of urine or stool through the vagina. During the repair, a surgeon removes the tissue causing the fistula and stitches the surrounding tissue together. The goal is to restore normal function and eliminate uncomfortable symptoms, improving quality of life for the affected individual.
