Pregnant women (110) with successfully repaired vesicovaginal fistula, supervised at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in Zaria, Nigeria, formed the study population. The obstetric complications, mode of delivery and fetal outcome are reviewed. The obstetric complications and fetal outcome were compared with a matched hospital control group. There was a higher complication rate among the women with vesicovaginal fistulae, and the commonest complication was urinary tract infection. Perinatal mortality rate was 17.2% in the cases compared to 10.2% in the controls.
