“…Transvaginal fistula repair with extensive anterior vaginal repair were performed. [ 10 ] In light of the abovementioned findings, we can hypothesize that the POP produces an internal force which causes ischemia of the vaginal mucosa and pressure necrosis. Furthermore, this force probably leads to the breakdown of vaginal mucosa and development of a fistula.…”

“…The patient did not use a pessary; however, cystoscopy revealed a large entrance of the VVF just inside the bladder neck. Transvaginal fistula repair with extensive anterior vaginal repair were performed [10] . In light of the abovementioned findings, we can hypothesize that the POP produces an internal force which causes ischemia of the vaginal mucosa and pressure necrosis.…”

Rationale: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) most commonly occurs due to iatrogenic injury during surgery or obstructed labor. We report a rare case of a patient with severe pelvic organ prolapse who developed VVF even though pessary had not been used. Patient concerns: A 63-year-old postmenopausal woman, para 3 (all spontaneous vaginal deliveries), complained of vaginal bulging sensation and involuntary urinary leakage for 3 years. Diagnosis: Stage IV uterine prolapse with VVF. Interventions: She underwent transvaginal VVF repair combined with total vaginal hysterectomy and sacrospinous ligament fixation. The postoperative course was uncomplicated. Outcomes: The patient remained free of complications during the 1-year follow-up. Lessons: This case illustrates the point that patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) should be treated promptly and careful follow-up should be conducted. Clinicians should be aware of the symptoms of VVF to ensure its early diagnosis and treatment.

Background: Genitourinary fistula, occurs most commonly due to preventable obstetric causes in developing countries. Women with obstetric fistula are at risk of infection, neglected from family and bear psychological distress due to stigma and social isolation. They require supportive care through multidisciplinary approach. Nurses occupying the larger workforce among the health-personnel are the frontier to care them throughout their life. Their knowledge on obstetric fistula will help to manage patients effectively. The aim of this research was to assess the knowledge on genitourinary fistula among nurses working in maternity wards of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal. Methods: AHospital based cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2018 to January 2019 using self-administered questionnaire among nurses working in antenatal, intranatal, postnatal and gynecology ward of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal. Forty nurses were enrolled after having informed consent. Collected data were entered in Microsoft excel and analysed using SPSS. Results: Only 42.5 % nurses had adequate knowledge on genitourinary fistula. Majority of them (90%) had correct response on definition of genitourinary fistula. Almost 83% correctly responded vesicovaginal fistula is the most common type. About 37.5% stated obstetric causes are main causes of genitourinary fistula in developing countries. Only 20% correctly responded the possible sign and symptoms of genitourinary fistula. Adequate knowledge on prevention of obstetric fistula (35%), surgical repair (20%), pre-operative management (12.5%) and discharge advice (20%) was found. Conclusions: This study concludes that majority of nurses working at antenatal, intranatal, postnatal and gynecology wards of B. P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal had moderate knowledge on genitourinary fistula.

This systematic review aimed to assess the clinical benefits of green tea consumption on the progression and prevention of prostate cancer (PCa). A systematic search was performed across the following databases: PubMed, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Current Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. We included studies from database inception to September 2015. Studies must report on the effect of green tea consumption on PCa. The quality of observational studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), while randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed for quality using the Jadad scale. A total of 15 articles were included, with 11 reporting on the effect of green tea consumption on PCa prevention, and four reporting on the effect of green tea on treatment. Mean NOS for observational studies was 7.4 (SD±1.3), with a range from 6 to 9, while all three RCTs scored 5 on the Jadad scale. Findings demonstrate that green tea appears to be an effective chemopreventive agent, particularly in those with high-grade prostate intraepithelial neoplasia. However, evidence of efficacy in the treatment of PCa is currently lacking. Given the limitations in current studies, more well-designed RCTs should be undertaken to determine if green tea indeed has a role in the prevention and treatment of PCa.
