ABSTRACT
Urinary incontinence shortly after childbirth or gynecologic surgery can be the result of obstetric or iatrogenic fistula formation. This can be a confusing and challenging diagnosis for medical providers. While the number of iatrogenic fistula cases is rising worldwide, obstetric fistulas are an issue uniquely particular to resource poor settings. Appropriate treatment of genitourinary fistulas spans beyond surgical intervention of leakage, and includes re-integration into the community, widespread education and counseling, and battling social stigma and cultural biases. Current and future research must focus on rigorous, unified efforts to set evidence-based practices to help the millions of women affected.
