Here's a new twist on birth after RV fistula.....

Our practice has a multip who developed an RV fistula after her first birth. (another practice). Now wants it repaired during birth # 2. The fistula is currently pin-hole sized.Some fecal leakage per vagina, but minimal. The fistula is 2-3 inches up the vagina.

I don't think trying to find it and repair it at time of birth is a reasonable plan. Any thoughts?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
