Introduction: Vesicovaginal fistulae is abnormal communication between bladder and vagina that cause continous dribling of urine. It is physically, mentally and socially distressing condition. There are various approaches for surgeries of these urogenital fistulae with different success-rate that depend upon the experience of surgeon and surgical procedures. This study can help us to estimate the success rate of layered repair with graft in vaginal route to make stragedy to adopted in severe patient. Objective: To determine frequency of success in surgery on vesic-ovaginal fistulae by layered closured with graft repair procedures among patients admitted in Isra University. Setting: Obstetrics & Gynecology department in Isra university hospital Duration: 6 months from 10.2.2014 to 10.8.2014 Study Design: Case series Subject and methods: A total of 100 patients after having surgery for vesicovaginal fistula by layered closure with graft repair was included in this study. History and examination of all subjects were taken. The follow up visit was planned after 3 weeks of surgery. All women was questioned for recurrence of continuous urinary leakage and that without such symptoms proved by absence of leakage on methylene blue dye test was labeled as ‘success’. Results: - Frequency of success in surgery on vesic-ovaginal fistulae by layered closured with graft repair procedures was observed in 88% cases. Conclusion: The success rate of VVF repair by layered closured with graft repair procedures is high. It is concluded that obstetric urogenital fistula is a preventable condition.

Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary loss of urine on physical exertion like coughing, sneezing, laughing or jumping. This condition in women is very distressing and it is usually kept disguised, so women remain untreated. This condition also causes feeling of inferiority and depression. There are different risk factors identified in causing urinary stress incontinence like constipation, traumatic and operative vaginal births, pelvic organ prolapse, abdominal mass, smoking, obesity, old age and menopause. The present study is design to know the actual magnitude of stress incontinence. There by strategies could be devised to reduce this morbidity. Objective: To determine the frequency of urinary stress incontinence in women after vaginal delivery Setting: This study was conducted at ISRA University Hospital, Hyderabad. Duration: Six months from Jan 2020 to June 2020. Design: Descriptive cross sectional. Subject and Methods: There were 141 women with history of urinary incontinence within 40 days of vaginal delivery were included in this study. Patient who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria and came within forty days after vaginal delivery. The final outcome that is urinary stress incontinence was labeled as positive or negative on approved proforma. Results: The average age of the patients was 26.75±5.72 years. Frequency of urinary stress incontinence in women after vaginal delivery was observed in 14.18% (20/141). Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that the mechanical strain during labor may add to the risk associated with pregnancy itself. Prenatal counseling about routes of delivery should provide a balanced account of the advantages and disadvantages for mother and child. The information from this study provides important information for clinicians, patients, and policymakers regarding childbirth and incontinence.
