Abstract
Abstract
The results of surgical repair of straightforward rectovaginal fistula in 26 women (obstetric, 13; infection, nine; trauma, one; unknown but not radiation-induced or related to inflammatory bowel disease, three) were ultimately excellent; 23 patients were cured. However, this result obscures a high early failure rate in five of 12 patients having a transanal advancement flap and in one of eight having perineoproctotomy (lay open and repair). A temporary stoma was used in 11 patients (five of eight with a perineoproctotomy, three of 12 with an advancement flap and in three having another local procedure).
