title: [Low rectovaginal fistula treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP)].
abstract: Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is an abnormal communication between vagina and anorectum. Most frequent causes are iatrogenic. Often surgery is the therapy of choice. The suggested treatments include trans-anal access or combined trans-anal and vaginal access. We present the case of a woman with complicated iatrogenic fistula treated by a combined trans-anal and vaginal access, interposition of buccal mucosa and opposition of PRP (platelet rich plasma).
