Tebeu’s Pronostic Classification of Obstetric Fistula According to Anatomopathologic Variables from the University Teaching Hospital, Yaounde Cameroon
Several studies revealed the prognostic value of the fistula location, size and the vaginal fibrosis on surgical result. Conclusion Fistula location, size and softening of surrounding tissue provide a promising prognostic classification of obstetric fistula in four entities. While waiting for additional researches this appears as a good field option.
Pattern of non-obstetric infectious recto-vaginal fistula: a case series and literature review in Cameroon, Central Africa
Perineal infection is an uncommon cause of non-obstetrical recto-vaginal fistula (RVF) which is associated with HIV infection. Cameroon (Central Africa) is in the fistula belt but infectious RVFs have not yet been deeply studied in the country. We therefore sought to determine the pattern of non-obstetric infectious RVF in Cameroon. Conclusions Local infection is a […]
Causes of Obstetric genito-urinary fistula: An Experience from the University Hospital, Yaoundé, Cameroon
Many studies have reported the risk factors for obstetric fistula, but little is known on the causes particularly in Cameroon. Knowledge on the causes of obstetric fistula could help in preventing its occurrence. Conclusion The most frequent causes of obstetric fistulas among patients treated at our institution were ischemic necrosis due to obstructed labor and […]
Comparative study of the outcome of surgical management of vesico-vaginal fistulas with and without interposition of the Martius graft: A Cameroonian experience
This study aimed to investigate whether Martius’ graft has an effect on the outcome of the surgical management of genitourinary fistula. Conclusion and interpretation The Martius graft does not seem to affect the outcome of the surgical management of genitourinary fistula. These results need to be confirmed by studies on a larger population.
The pattern of non-obstetric fistula: A Cameroonian experience
Objective To investigate the pattern of Non-obstetrical genital fistula (NOGF) in Cameroonian context. Results NOGF represented 19.78% of genital fistula. Uro-genital fistula (UGF) represented 72.20% while non-obstetrical genito-digestive fistula (GDF) represented 27.80% of NOGF. The main cause of UGF was hysterectomy (46.15%) while the main cause of genito-digestive fistula was vaginal infections (40.00%). Most patients […]
