Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on gynaecological fistulae resulting from surgery or radiotherapy at Haukeland University Hospital, highlighting the characteristics and treatment outcomes over a 24-year period.
- Among the 411 women treated for these fistulae, a significant majority were caused by surgical procedures, with a higher healing rate for post-surgical fistulae compared to those resulting from radiotherapy.
- Post-surgical healing rates were notably high at 94%, while only 26% of those with post-radiotherapy fistulae achieved healing, indicating that radiotherapy-related cases often led to permanent conditions.
