obstetric fistula
Définition
- Obstetric fistula refers to an abnormal opening between adjacent structures in the pelvis, resulting from the compression of soft tissues by the baby's head during arrested labor, particularly during the second or “pushing” stage. Obstetric fistula is almost unheard of in the developed world, because arrested descent of the fetal head is commonly relieved by performing a widely available surgery, Caesarean section.
