What is Obstric fistula
Obstetric fistula is one of the most serious and
tragic childbirth injuries. A hole between the
birth canal and bladder and/or rectum, it is
caused by prolonged, obstructed labour without
access to timely, high-quality medical treatment.
It leaves women leaking urine, faeces or both,
and often leads to chronic medical problems,
depression, social isolation and deepening povert.

Obstetric Fistula Treatment at Mumbai Nasik
The surgical closure of an Obstetric Fistula is
the most effective way to treat this condition.
Quality of life improves dramatically for the
majority of women after successful fistula
repair. Women are able to return to their normal
lives interact freely with their families and
friends and lead a healthy married life. About
80 to 90 of women with Vesico-vaginal Fistula
can be cured by a simple vaginal surgery. The
more complicated fistulas may require multiple
attempts before continence is achieved. As
Healing Hands is a Proctology Clinic, we
specialize in treating Recto-vaginal Fistulas.
The Fistula is repaired in layers. Primary
reconstruction is done. Sphincter repair is done.
This is followed by vaginal wall repair. Finally,
the rectal mucosa is repaired.
