Combined abdominal and posterior sagittal transrectal approach for the repair of rectourinary fistula resulting from a shotgun wound

Diagnostic lessons learnt from a series of enterovesical fistulae

“…Spontaneous closure of the fistula is reported to occur in approximately 2% of patients [11]. Other reported causes include shotgun injuries, non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma in AIDS, postlaparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, prostatomegaly and colonic duplication [12–15].…”

Outcome of a Modified York Mason Technique in Men With Iatrogenic Urethrorectal Fistula After Radical Prostatectomy

“…17 However, York Mason repair may not be the best option for patients with preexisting impaired anorectal function, and other techniques should be considered for such patients. 16,22,23 As we are urologists, our preoperative evaluation mainly included "urologic" diagnostic tests.

Is surgical intervention always needed for traumatic rectovesical fistula?—We demonstrate an experience of nonsurgical management of traumatic rectovesical fistula

“…[1][2][3][4]6,9 Injuries to the colon and rectum can be classified as intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal. 5 Operative management is preferred for most cases.…”

“…Two months following recovery from acute pyelonephritis, a midline infraumbilical laparotomy for bladder neck repair and a posterior sagittal transrectal approach for rectal wall repair were successfully performed. 4 Fernandez described the use of a self-expanding prosthesis for a rectovesical fistula following anterior exenteration for advanced sigmoid colon cancer. A 72-year-old female received anterior exenteration with colorectal anastomosis and a neobladder.…”
