Obstetric Fistula • PREVENTABLE CONDITION. • Obstructed labour-related induration and necrosis results in genito-urinary and/or colo-genital fistula. • Urinary, Fecal incontinence • Stillbirth • Foot drop • Vaginal defect • Fibrosis stenosis - cloacal defect • Psychosocial sequelae Source: Campaign to End Fistula Printed Materials

  4. Epidemiology Global • Estimates of 2-7 million women affected globally • Estimates of >75,000 new cases each year. • Estimates of 3-5 cases per 1000 pregnancies. • Prevalence in developed countries approaches 0.
