The treatment is by surgery exceptional by probe for very small cases. But some ones remain incurable after several surgery theaters. The objective of this study is to establish the epidemiology anatomopathological types and prognosis of FGF considered being incurable in our center. Methods This is a retrospective and prospective descriptive study from January 2, 2017 to July 14, 2021 on incurable cases of female genital fistula recorded at the Centre National de Réparation de Fistule Obstétricale (CNRFO) of Niamey for complex cases of fgf.
