INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The impoverished West African country of Niger has
high rates of obstetric fistula. We report a 6-month postoperative follow-up of
384 patients from the Danja Fistula Center and assess factors associated with
operative success or failure. METHODS: The medical records of 384 women who had
completed a 6-month follow-up after fistula surgery were reviewed. Cases were
categorized as "easy," "of intermediate complexity," or "difficult" based on a
preoperative points system. Data were analyzed using simple chi-squared
statistics and logistic regression. RESULTS: The patients were predominantly of
Hausa ethnicity (73%), married young (average 15.9 years), had teenage first
pregnancies (average first delivery 16.9 years), and experienced prolonged labor
(average 2.3 days) with poor outcomes (89% stillbirth rate). The average parity
was four. Patients commonly developed their fistula during their first delivery
(43.5%), but over half sustained a fistula during a subsequent delivery (56.5%).
Prior fistula surgery elsewhere (average 1.75 operations) was common. The overall
surgical success ("closed and dry") was 54%. When the 134 primary operations were
analyzed separately, the overall success rate was 80%. Increasing success was
seen with decreasing surgical difficulty: 92% success for "easy" cases, 68% for
"intermediate" cases, and 57% success for "difficult" cases. Success decreased
with increasing numbers of previous attempts at surgical repair. CONCLUSIONS:
These data provide further evidence that clinical outcomes are better when
primary fistula repair is performed by expert surgeons in specialist centers with
the support of trained fistula nurses.
