Study Notes

Fistula in Anatomy

A fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway between two epithelium-lined organs or vessels that are not normally connected.

Types of Fistulae

Anal Fistula: Connects the anal canal or rectum to the skin near the anus.
Colovaginal Fistula: Connects the colon (large intestine) to the vagina, allowing feces to pass through the vagina.
Vesicouterine Fistula: Connects the bladder (urinary bladder) to the uterus, allowing urine to flow into the uterus and potentially causing infertility.
Urethrovaginal Fistula: Connects the urethra (urinary tract) to the vagina, allowing urine to flow into the vagina and causing incontinence.
