Abstract
Successful rectourethral fistula closure can be achieved for nonradiated (100%) and radiation/ablation (84%) rectourethral fistulas using a standard anterior perineal approach with an interposition muscle flap and selective use of buccal mucosal graft, providing a standard for rectourethral fistula repair. Even the most complex radiation/ablation rectourethral fistula can be repaired avoiding permanent urinary and fecal diversion.
