James Cook University, Queensland, Australia KEYWORDS: Female, Fistulas, Outcomes Research Methods, Conservative Treatment Obstructed labor is the leading cause of obstetric fistulas globally, and is more common in settings with limited access to emergency obstetric care. When women present to a tertiary care facility following prolonged obstructed labor, Cesarean delivery may increase morbidity. We sought to describe characteristics of DRC women who developed urogenital fistulae following Cesarean section to determine characteristics associated with 2 different fistula etiologies: (1) obstructed labor; and (2) Cesarean section.
