title: [Study of urogenital fistulas in the Ivory Coast at the end of the 20th century. Results of 70 cases].
abstract: The urogenital fistulas (UGF), mostly in Africa and particularly in Ivory Coast, still represent a great flail nowadays. However, the authors notice, through a study of 70 cases done in Ivory Coast over (ten) 10 years, that a relative decrease of the impact of the urogenital fistulas troubles still remains a serious affection of young women who can give birth. They are about 30 years old and more; that is to say primipares (44.28%) but over all multipares (54.28%) and poor ones (100%). Most cases are obstetrical causes which expose those women to genital mutilations (25.71%) linked to birth giving difficulties which also bring about many dead born (14.11%) and divorces (20%).
