Speaker: Dr Peter Majinge
Peter will share his clinical experiences with fistula repair.
Obstetric fistula is a devastating childbirth injury caused by prolonged, obstructed labour without timely access to high-quality medical care.
The resulting hole between the birth canal and bladder and/or rectum leads to serious long-term problems with leaking urine, faeces or both.
If not surgically repaired, the injury can leave affected women and girls incontinent for the rest of their lives, resulting in chronic medical problems, depression, social isolation and deepening poverty.
We will learn more about:
• Causes, risk factors and incidence
• The woman´s voice: how is it to live with fistula?
• Surgical repair: how do we fix this problem?
• Childbirth assistance: how do we prevent this problem?
