[Treatment of low rectovaginal fistula by pulling down a rectal mucosal curtain].
The most delicate stage in the repair of low rectovaginal fistulae is closure of the rectal opening. To the numerous and complex procedures proposed, the authors oppose a simple technique which consists of separating the rectal mucosa, which can then be pulled down like a curtain to effectively and completely obturate the opening without attending to the muscular breach. This technique has been successfully used in 9 cases of low recto-vaginal fistulae of obstetrical or infectious origin.
