RESUMEN
Rectovaginal fistulas (RVF) are the cause of major affliction to the affected patient and are a foremost challenge for the attending surgeon. Traditional techniques for treatment of RVF are quite extensive and particularly invasive. A more local procedure, with an acceptable success rate, would be the ideal first approach in treatment of this particular ailment. The aim of the current study is to show the step-by-step technique to correct a complex recurrent RVF (rRVF) using a biomesh implant. A 61-year-old female, who had undergone a prior vaginal hysterectomy, presented with a complex recurrent RVF. A third attempt to repair the RVF was conducted by a surgical team with the utilization of a biomesh, which resulted in no further recurrence of symptoms or RVF for up to 4 years. Complex rRVF repair by the placement of the biomesh allows for a secure and sustainable closure with potentially better prognosis for the patients.
