A UGF repair should be individualised after considering the specific characteristics and complexity of the procedure. MFP interposition is probably unnecessary for the majority of low (obstetric) fistulae within otherwise healthy tissues. However, MFP may still have a place to maximise outcomes in low-income settings, in select cases with higher (iatrogenic) fistulae, and in most cases with radiotherapy.
