To develop a surgical classification for obstetric fistulas in order to compare surgical techniques and results.
Based on a retrospective analysis of 775 consecutive fistula patients, the following classification is presented: (type I) fistulas not involving the urethral closing mechanism; (type II) fistulas involving the urethral closing mechanism; and (type III) ureter and other exceptional fistulas. Type II fistulas can be further divided into: (A) without (sub)total urethra involvement, and (B) with (sub)total urethra involvement; and (a) without a circumferential defect, and (b) with a circumferential defect. This classification was applied prospectively in over 2700 consecutive fistula patients.
The surgical technique becomes progressively more complicated from type I through type IIBb. The results of closure and continence worsen progressively from type I through type IIBb. Personal experience in the case of type III fistulas is very limited.
This classification enables a systematic comparison of different surgical techniques and an objective evaluation of results from different centers.
制定一种产科瘘管的手术分类方法,以便比较手术技术和结果。
基于对775例连续瘘管患者的回顾性分析,提出以下分类:(I型)不涉及尿道闭合机制的瘘管;(II型)涉及尿道闭合机制的瘘管;(III型)输尿管及其他特殊瘘管。II型瘘管可进一步分为:(A)无(次)全尿道受累,(B)有(次)全尿道受累;以及(a)无环形缺损,(b)有环形缺损。该分类方法前瞻性地应用于2700多例连续瘘管患者。
从I型到IIBb型,手术技术逐渐变得更加复杂。从I型到IIBb型,闭合和控尿结果逐渐变差。关于III型瘘管的个人经验非常有限。
这种分类方法能够对不同手术技术进行系统比较,并对不同中心的结果进行客观评估。
