Pregnancy outcomes following surgical repair of female genital fistula in Uganda
Our results demonstrate that in the study setting, greater attention to high-quality, comprehensive pregnancy care and birth planning are critical for improving outcomes among women who have undergone fistula repair, including facilitation of elective cesarean section which is recommended for postrepair births. Additional investments must be made to strengthen women's health access and knowledge that supports their postfistula repair reproductive goals.
