Abstract

Rectourethral fistula is an uncommon surgical complication that may follow correction of anorectal anomalies. Previously described operations to repair the fistula have a high incidence of failure. Operative success is measured by achieving permanent separation of rectum from urethra, preventing urethral injury, and preserving urinary and fecal continence. Two patients with recurrent rectourethral fistula were repaired successfully. The operation described is performed through a posterior transsphincteric Kraske approach with direct repair of the fistula and resection of the fistula containing anorectal tube.
