Abstract
Our objective was to assess the contribution of general practitioners trained in fistula repair in Burundi. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive study, collecting 70 cases from June 2020 to May 2021 at Gitega Regional Hospital, 47.1% being under 30 years old, 77.1% of whose fistulae were successfully repaired with lasting continence regained within six months. This demonstrates that training of general practitioners in vesico-vaginal fistula repair has filled a gap resulting from the lack of surgeons in Burundi.
