title: [Iatrogenic prostatorectal fistula. Use of gracilis muscle pedicled flap for its reparation. Presentation of two cases].
abstract: We present two cases in which during retropubic prostatectomy for benign prostatic disease a prostatorectal fistula ocurred. We describe its reparation using a pedicled flap of gracilis muscle. We also present cystographic and opaque enema images which shows the before and after of this surgery. Patients had good outcome without incontinence nor problems related to muscle desinsertion surgery.
