Abstract

Successful repair of rectovaginal fistula in patients with Crohn's disease has been reported when these patients have a normal appearing rectum. We report the performance of stricturectomy in conjunction with circumferential rectal sleeve advancement for patients who have a rectovaginal fistula arising from an anorectal stricture secondary to Crohn's disease. This technique provides for repair of rectovaginal fistula and correction of the anal stricture and maintains continence.
