 Introduction
Obstetric fistula is an abnormal connection between
the vagina and rectum and/or bladder which may
develop after prolonged and obstructed labor
whichleads to continuous urinary or fecal
incontinence
 It is a serious problem in the world's poorest
countries, where most mothers give birth without
any medical help. In most cases obstetric fistula can
be treated if carried out by a competent surgeon and
3followed up with proper postoperative care .
Literature review

determine the association factors without come
of obstetric fistula treatment and recovery time
across the world.

 summary
The main objective of this study was to
estimate average recovery time of obstetric
fistula and identify factors that affect time to
recovery from obstetric weeks. From
multivariable analysis, we found that,
antibiotic use, history of antenatal care,
length/width of fistula and educational
status were significantly affecting the time
of recovery at 5% level of significance.
