It is routine practice for women to have an indwelling bladder catheter after fistula repair surgery, however scientific evidence on the optimal duration of catheterization is limited. Fistula Care, a project of EngenderHealth, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is about to embark on a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine whether short-term (7 day) catheterization is either equivalent to, or no worse than, longer-term (14 day) catheterization in terms of successful fistula closure. Shorter-term catheterization would have important implications for service delivery: it would reduce hospital stays for women, free bed space at facilities, reduce costs, allow for a greater number of patients to receive clinical care, and potentially reduce the probability of healthcare-associated infections following surgery.
