Popis: | Twenty-three women with obstetric rectovaginal fistulas were seen between 2010 and 2017 from a database of 116 women with obstetric injuries. This was a first vaginal delivery in 19 (82%), and 15 (65%) required an assisted delivery. The original fistula site was as follows: 9 suprasphincteric (39.1%), 10 transsphincteric (43.5%) and 4 anovulval (17.4%). Fourteen occurred within the first three weeks of delivery, with the remainder one to four months later. (Figure 1). The final assumed diagnosis based on investigation and follow-up was as follows: 13 missed fourth degree tears, 5 inadequate repairs of fourth degree tears, 2 repairs broke down from sepsis and 3 suture penetration of the anorectum during repairs.
