ABSTRACT
Background: By definition, rectovaginal fistula is a result of an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina. It is often a result of inflammatory bowel disease, iatrogenic illness, malignancy or trauma. Rectovaginal fistula treatment is dependent on the classification of the fistula (simple or complex). There are few reports on transposition of gracilis muscle as a feasible option for treatment of rectal, vaginal and urethral fistula.
Clinical cases: We present the first three case experiences from
the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición “Salvador Zubirán,” a tertiary-care medical center in Mexico City.
Conclusions: Gracilis muscle transposition is a feasible procedure in our population for treatment of recurrent rectovaginal and anorectal fistulas.
