Rectovaginal fistula is defined as a result of an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina. It is often a result of inflammatory bowel disease, iatrogenic illness, malignancy or trauma. Rectovaginal fistula treatment is dependent on the classification of the fistula (simple or complex). There are few reports on transposition of gracilis muscle as a feasible option for treatment of rectal, vaginal and urethral fistula.We present the first three case experiences from the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Medicas y Nutricion "Salvador Zubiran," a tertiary-care medical center in Mexico City.Gracilis muscle transposition is a feasible procedure in our population for treatment of recurrent rectovaginal and anorectal fistulas. |
