Procedure

Fistulas can be described as a communication or abrupt opening between two organ sites. Genitourinary vaginal fistulas form between your vagina or uterus and the organs in the urinary system. There are two types of Genitourinary vaginal fistulas: vesicovaginal and ureterovaginal fistula.

Vesicovaginal Fistula is a common genitourinary vaginal fistula; vesicovaginal fistula is a free communication between the urinary bladder and vagina. The urine from the bladder flows freely into the vagina, leading to total or continuous urine incontinence.

On the other hand, the ureterovaginal fistula is an opening between the distal ureter and the vagina. The urine from the ureter bypasses the bladder and flows into the vagina, leading to total urine incontinence. Here are a few reasons that can cause vaginal fistula:

Prolonged labor during childbirth
Vaginal tears during episiotomy or childbirth.
Abdominal or pelvic surgeries, like C-sections or hysterectomies
Cervical or colorectal cancer
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, like Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis.
Colon infections, like diverticulitis
Radiation therapy to the pelvic region

Usually, there are alternatives available to vaginal fistulas, like antibiotics, temporary self-catheterization, and ureteral stents, if the fistula is small. However, there are major instances where the doctors recommend ureterovaginal fistula surgery in Varanasi for complete recovery. In the surgery, the doctors use the patient's tissue, lab-made tissue, or a surgical stent to close the opening.
