    Journal: Int Urogynecol J; 2016 May; 27(5):821-3. PubMed ID: 26779914.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Rectovaginal fistula repair is one of the most challenging gynecological surgical procedures. This video is intended to serve as a tutorial for surgical repair. METHODS: An 80-year-old woman who developed a traumatic suprasphincteric rectovaginal fistula was managed through layered transvaginal repair without flaps. RESULTS: Anatomy restoration was completed without complications. CONCLUSION: The procedure described in this video was effective and safe. Vaginal route should be considered as a valid surgical approach for rectovaginal fistula repair.
