Rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) represent the majority of all symptomatic leakages after anterior and low anterior resection in women. Conservative management is useful in paucisymptomatic patients with small fistulas but is usually unsuccessful in all other cases. The surgical strategies are various and heavily dependent on the type and extent of anatomic involvement. We present a case of a 51-year-old female with a multi-recurrent rectovaginal fistula that occurred since a laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was performed for a complicated diverticular disease in May 2015. An attempt to close the fistula was undertaken three times. In July 2019, a transvaginal repair was performed with interposition in the rectovaginal septum of GORE ® BIO-A ® Tissue Reinforcement. The postoperative course was uneventful. There was no recurrence and functional outcome was good at 24-months follow-up. Rectovaginal fistula can be successfully treated using the interposition of a GORE ® BIO-A ® Tissue Reinforcement with significant economic savings and good functional outcomes even through a transvaginal approach. It represents a therapeutic option for an otherwise difficult-to-treat complex fistula.

“…Brown and Horton reported incidence of 0.17% in adults, particularly those containing multiple abdominal viscera. [2][3][4][5][6] Bochdalek hernias are the most common congenital diaphragmatic defect, usually occurring on the left with a higher incidence in males. [1][2][3] We describe a man with a Bochdalek hernia containing the left kidney, stomach, omentum, pancreas, spleen, and splenic flexure and transverse colon who presented with persistent dyspnoea and dysphagia since childhood.…”

Bochdalek hernias are a rare diaphragmatic hernia, usually diagnosed in childhood. We report a case of a large Bochdalek hernia containing omentum, stomach, left colon and some small bowel (jejunum) including mesentery, the superior pole of the left kidney, spleen and tail of pancreas diagnosed in adulthood. Our patient underwent a laparoscopic repair of this massive hernia with a composite mesh with an excellent post-operative outcome.
