Background: Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) is a rare but debilitating condition, characterised by an abnormal connection between the bladder and vagina. While obstetric-related cases prevail in developing countries, iatrogenic fistulas are more common in industrialised ones, often resulting from pelvic surgeries.
Objectives: The optimal timing for surgical correction of VVF remains debated, often leaning towards delayed intervention.

Article Synopsis
- The rise in cesarean section rates has raised concerns about obstetric vesico-uterine fistula (OVUF) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), warranting a study to analyze its epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment outcomes.
- This descriptive study, conducted from January 2017 to December 2022, included 1,267 patients with obstetric fistulas, of which 355 (28.0%) were identified as OVUF, predominantly affecting younger women from rural areas with low educational attainment.
- Key findings revealed that all OVUF cases were caused by cesarean deliveries, with a significant number of patients experiencing longer durations before repair, and most fistulas being solitary

Background: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is an uncommon cause of urinary incontinence (UI). Iatrogenic etiologies, especially abdominal hysterectomy, are most common; however, a minority of VVFs are caused by retained foreign bodies. Objects associated with VVF include intrauterine devices, gauze, pessaries, bottle caps, and sexual aids, but retained tampons or other menstrual products have not been commonly reported.
