title: Rectovestibular fistula with normal anus: a treatment alternative.
abstract: Congenital rectovestibular fistulas with normal anus are a rare form of anorectal malformations, especially in the Western hemisphere. Due to its rarity, consensus on preoperative management, surgical technique and postoperative care is still in debate. We describe a specific case with its management plan and outcomes while providing an up to date literature review on current management trends.
