Urinary Tract Fistula Diagnosis and Treatment in New Jersey
A urinary tract fistula is an abnormal opening in an area of the urinary tract (such as the bladder) or an abnormal connection between the urinary tract to another nearby organ (such as the vagina).
Our highly experienced surgeons take a specialized approach to fistula care. We work closely with gynecologic and colorectal surgeons to treat fistulas and reconstruct affected organs, when necessary.
Treating Urinary Tract Fistulas
Our experts create a customized treatment plan based on the severity and location of your fistula. In some cases, fistulas heal on their own. Your doctor may recommend surgery if your fistula is large, is not healing or is causing problems.
Surgery for Urinary Tract Fistulas
Fistula surgery involves removing damaged tissue, closing the abnormal opening or connection between organs and reconstructing the organs to restore normal function.
The approach your surgeon uses will depend on the location and extent of the fistula.
