Injuries We Treat

The Most Severe Injuries We Treat

Many women arrive at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital or our partner location hospitals after living with injury for years, sometimes decades.

Obstetric Fistula

An abnormal opening between the birth canal and bladder or rectum that causes constant leakage of urine or stool, frequent infections, and profound social isolation.

Severe Perineal Tears

Extensive childbirth injuries that damage muscles and tissues essential for continence and pelvic support, often left unrepaired after delivery.

Advanced Pelvic Organ Prolapse

A painful and disabling condition in which the uterus, bladder, or rectum descends due to damaged pelvic muscles following traumatic or repeated childbirth.

Complex Surgical Complications

Including scarring, nerve damage, and injuries caused by delayed or unsafe cesarean sections that require advanced reconstructive surgery.

Caring for Girls with Complex Injuries

In addition to adult patients, Musa and his surgical team treat approximately ten young girls each year who were either born with congenital fistulas or sustained severe genital injuries early in life. These cases require highly specialized care and long-term follow-up, underscoring the need for surgical systems capable of treating patients across the lifespan.
