Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) occurs as a result of abnormal epithelialized connections between the rectum and vagina. Rectal cancer surgery remains the major cause of RVF. Here, we report a rare postoperative complication in which a patient with a double uterine and vagina received RVF following rectal cancer surgery. The patient received radiotherapy and developed rectal anastomotic stenosis leading to scar hyperplasia around the fistula, making repair difficult. Complex RVF is prone to release, which despite the multitude of procedures and treatments reported, optimal strategies remain controversial. Our previous studies showed how the use of rectal mucosal advancement flap (RMAF) with transanal endoscopic surgery (TES) can repair mid-low RVF. We successfully repaired RVF and rectal anastomotic stenosis with staging TES in this complex case. This highlights the safety and utility of TES treatment for complex RVF. Further studies are now required to confirm its effectiveness.

Background: Rectovaginal fistula is abnormal epithelial-lined connections between the rectum and vagina. Rectovaginal fistula represents an often devastating condition in patients and a challenge for surgeons. Successful management of this condition must take into account a variety of variables including the etiology, size, and location of the fistula. Repair options include advancement flaps, plugs, fistula ligation, and tissue interposition. Method: We treated five cases of low rectovagianl fistula by endorectal local advancement flap in Colorectal Surgery Unit of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University between January 2011 to January 2014. Aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Endorectal local advancement flap in terms of cure, recurrence or failure in the management of rectovaginal fistula. Result: Out of five, four patients had rectovaginal fistula due to obstetric cause, one was post-surgical. One patient developed partial flap necrosis. The patient was managed by conservative means. Post-operative hospital stay was 5 days (range 4 -7 days). All patients achieved complete healing after the procedure. Conclusion: Rectovaginal fistula repair by endorectal local advancement flap should be part of the armamentarium of colorectal surgeons for treating persistent rectovaginal fistula.
