Abstract
Complications from radical hysterectomy in low-income countries (LICs) are largely unreported in the medical literature. We report on three cases of urinary tract reconstruction performed at the Fistula Care Center (FCC) in Lilongwe, Malawi for iatrogenic fistula following radical hysterectomy. These cases demonstrate the diversity and complexity of reconstruction techniques required and emphasize the need for careful tracking of surgical outcomes of radical hysterectomy.
