Done Radical Hysterectomy Due To Uterine Cancer. Leaking After Surgery. Is This Normal?

Hi, I do have a question. My mom had a radical hysterectomy due to a diagnosis of Unterine Cancer in June. The surgery was done laprascopically. She had the catheter on for two weeks after the surgery. She was experiencing leaking. After they removed the catheter, the leaking got progressively worse. The doctors determined that she had a fishtula. She had surgery to repair this on July 10th. The doctors repaired the fishtula and put tissue in between her bladder and her vagina to make sure the hole was completely closed. She was experiencing some leaking after the surgery. The catheter was removed yesterday. Unfortunately my mom is still leaking. She is wetting herself and has little or no control of her bladder. We are concerned that the hole hasn't closed completely. Its been a difficult couple of months and she has started chemo since the cancer has spread into three of her lynmph nodes. I was wondering if there is any way the bladder still needs more time to regain full control? Is this normal? Or should we be worried of another surgery in the near future? You're help is greatly appreciated.

Dear,
sorry for the inconveniences you are undergoing.
I wonder is the leak because of fistula or there is no control on blader. The later may get controled with passage of time and some perineal exercises but the fistula again needs to be corrected by surgery. follow strictly the advice of your treating doctor.
Truly,
Dr. J. Ticku
