The repulsive smell and the inability to engage in sexual activity and bear children made to suffer both from physical and social consequences. In spite of all these, OF is not acknowledged as a critical issue in developing world including Ethiopia where cases were prevalent but given less attention.

A study is needed to know the common type of common type of Obstetric fistula, to assess the surgical repair outcomes, and the factors affecting repair outcome of obstetric fistula in Amhara region.
