Fistula wound healing time. Women are most likely to have fistulas between the vagina and rectum (called a rectovaginal fistula) or between the bladder and vagina (vesicovaginal fistula). If surgery becomes necessary for these conditions, our doctors are skilled in minimally invasive techniques, most of which concentrate on sphincter preservation. An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormality of blood vessels, consisting of a direct connection between an artery and a vein. Incontinence due to a weak sphincter is called stress urinary incontinence (SUI). A fistula allows urine, feces, and/or gas to pass through the vagina and can be difficult to correct. Arteriovenous (AV) fistula is a direct connection between an artery and a vein. A fistula is an abnormal pathway connection between a hollow body cavity, such as the bladder, and another hollow organ or the surface of the body. We prefer this approach if possible because as the fistula gets bigger and stronger, we can use it to perform dialysis for years with minimal risk of infection. A fistula is a passageway between two areas of the body that shouldn’t have one.
