Recto- or anovaginal fistula is a troublesome complication of double-stapling technique in ultralow rectal anastomosis for rectal cancer or in ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. In this study, a technique for preventing this problem by means of separation of the vaginal wall during the stapler firing is described using a flexible spatula introduced through the rectovaginal septum into the peritoneal cavity.

Abstract
Recto- or anovaginal fistula is a troublesome complication of double-stapling technique in ultralow rectal anastomosis for rectal cancer or in ileal pouch-anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. In this study, a technique for preventing this problem by means of separation of the vaginal wall during the stapler firing is described using a flexible spatula introduced through the rectovaginal septum into the peritoneal cavity.File in questo prodotto:
