Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is a serious complication after colorectal anastomosis using a double-stapling technique. RVF following this procedure has been considered to be refractory to conservative treatment.
A 75-year-old woman who underwent laparoscopy-assisted low anterior resection for early rectal cancer developed RVF on the 12th postoperative day. Conservative treatment was chosen and was successful. She was discharged from the hospital after 3 weeks with a normal oral diet. Colonoscopy on the 50th postoperative day showed that the RVF was closed.
Conservative treatment may be effective for RVF after colorectal anastomosis using a double-stapling technique when there is no evidence of defecation through the vagina.
直肠阴道瘘(RVF)是使用双吻合器技术进行结直肠吻合术后的一种严重并发症。该手术后发生的RVF一直被认为对保守治疗无效。
一名75岁女性因早期直肠癌接受腹腔镜辅助低位前切除术,术后第12天发生RVF。选择保守治疗并取得成功。3周后她出院,饮食正常。术后第50天的结肠镜检查显示RVF已闭合。
当没有经阴道排便的证据时,保守治疗可能对使用双吻合器技术进行结直肠吻合术后的RVF有效。
