Thirteen patients had small fistulae (< 2 cm) and fifteen patients had large fistulae (> 2 cm), nine of which were considered to be giant fistulae (> 5 cm). The patients' age, parity, nationality and duration of their fistulae are presented. Our experience of repairing twenty-four fistulae showed that the cure rate was higher in small fistulae (90.9%) compared to large fistulae (69.2%). The cure rate was also found to be higher in patients who underwent the abdomino-vaginal approach (71.4-100%), compared to those who underwent the vaginal approach (66.7-83.3%).  ISSN : 1319-1004  Journal Name : Medical Science Journal  Volume : 1  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1411 AH 1991 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, April 1, 2011  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حسان عبدالجبار AbdulJabbar, Hassan Investigator Doctorate   هشام موصلي Mosli, Hisham Researcher Doctorate   حسن فارسي Farsi, Hasan Researcher Doctorate   فاطمة العتيبي Al-Etaibi, Fatma Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  29474.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
