Abstract

Rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) are abnormal communications between the anus or rectum and the vagina and can present a challenge for both the patient and the surgeon. This condition can have extensive morbidity related to a negative impact on the patient’s social, sexual, and overall quality of life and can be extremely disabling and associated with significant distress in affected women. Additionally, the morbidity and success of a repair is directly dependent on both the cause and the complexity of the fistula. Keywords: Rectovaginal fistula, Obstetric trauma, Forceps, Colostomy
