About

Cristin Wehbe is a urologist whose research focuses on the surgical and conservative management of female pelvic floor disorders, with a particular emphasis on vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) repair. Her most-cited work, "Revisiting Conservative Management of Vesicovaginal Fistula" (2016, 11 citations), challenges traditional surgical-first approaches by evaluating the efficacy of non-operative interventions for select VVF patients. This paper contributes to a nuanced understanding of fistula care, highlighting patient selection criteria and outcomes that can reduce the need for invasive procedures. Wehbe’s scholarship bridges clinical practice and evidence-based guidelines, offering practical insights for urologists and gynecologists managing complex pelvic fistulas. While her citation count reflects a focused niche, her work is foundational for clinicians seeking to optimize conservative strategies in low-resource or high-risk settings. Beyond this study, Wehbe’s broader research addresses urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and female urology, underscoring her commitment to improving quality of life for women with pelvic floor dysfunction. Her contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and practitioners in urology and female pelvic medicine, providing a balanced perspective on when to operate and when to observe.
