Alternativas quirúrgicas en el manejo de la fístula rectovaginal: experiencia de 25 años

In this study local repair of RVF was employed in 12 cases, one third of the cases needed a permanent ostomy, and 40% of the complex cases of RVF were successfully repaired with sphincter preservation. Comparisons with other studies are precluded because of heterogeneity of published RVF series, probably due to different patterns of reference.
