[Reconstructive gluteus maximus muscle pedicled flaps in the treatment of resistant fistulae of the pelvic organs].
The author describes a surgical method used to close poorly healing defects between the vagina and rectum, and the urethra and rectum resp. or persistent sinuses after proctectomy by means of a muscular flap of the gluteus maximus muscle. The results of treatment are demonstrated on a group of 7 patients operated by the author in the course of 26 years. In six patients the procedure was successful and led to healing of the defects.
