Abstrakt:	We present a case of a 68-year-old man with a rectourethral fistula (RUF) successfully treated with a unique endoscopic approach using the Padlock Clip system (Steris, Basingstoke, UK). This is a complex case of a patient who, after radical prostatectomy, continued to show several complications, including fistulas and relapses. Our work aims to enhance the literature with our technique and to help the scientific community in future RUF cases. Our case stands out because this therapeutic approach has not yet been described in the literature as a possible endoscopic treatment of RUF. Therefore, our topic description is essential to assist future similar cases. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
