Practice questions
- In the Aga Khan University Hospital series of 87 women with genital fistulae, which two broad groups were reported?
- What did the Aga Khan University Hospital report state about coexistence of urogenital and rectovaginal fistulae?
- According to the genital-fistula surgical series, how should patient position and the route of repair be selected?
- In the urogenital fistula group, 54 of 68 cases were successfully repaired at the first attempt. Approximately what proportion is this?
- Which statement correctly distinguishes first-attempt from overall urogenital fistula repair success in the reported series?
- What outcome was reported for the 19 rectovaginal fistulae in the Aga Khan University Hospital series?
- Which description best reflects the authors' characterization of complex genital fistulae?
- For outcome accounting in the urogenital fistula series, which cases were specifically considered failures in the report?
- A trainee cites the 19/19 single-repair closure result as the expected success rate for every rectovaginal fistula service. Which interpretation is most appropriate?
- In the series of patients operated on for radiation injury of the small intestine, which primary cancer had most often been treated with radiotherapy?
- In the radiation-related small-bowel injury series, what was the reported mean interval from radiotherapy to the first symptoms?
- The radiation-injury series reported a mean of 72 months from radiotherapy to surgery. Which interval does this figure describe?
- Among 55 patients operated on for radiation injury of the small intestine, which was the most frequent stated indication for surgery?
- A question asks what the radiation-related small-bowel series establishes about genital fistula repair. Which response best respects the evidence?
- In the radiation-injured small-bowel cohort, which operative strategy did the authors prefer when it could be performed without extreme risk or unacceptable sequelae?
- How many patients in the radiation-related small-bowel injury series received preoperative total parenteral nutritional assistance?
