  • Title: [Treatment of prostato-rectal fistulae. Apropos of 5 cases].
    Author: el Ouakdi M, Guermazi H, Ayed M, Zmerli S.
    Journal: J Urol (Paris); 1988; 94(8):389-91. PubMed ID: 3071553.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 5 cases of prostato-rectal fistulae. Two men were treated by a posterior approach and two by an abdominal approach because of associated lesions. They review all of the techniques of approaching the prostato-rectal fistulas. The transsphincteric approach provides excellent exposure and reliable closure of prostato-rectal fistulas: the concern for possible anal incontinence is unfounded. Additional security can be obtained by performing a colostomy beforehand.
