Article Abstract
Aim: To develop surgical technique for definite treatment of recurrent rectourethral fistula in children.
Materials And Methods: From 2010 to 2022, 6 children with anal atresia and recurrent rectourethral fistula after sphincteroplasty were treated. In all patients an isolation and ligation of fistula with bringing down and resection of rectum above the level of fistula using transanal access in prone position was done.
Results: The procedure was successful in all cases. Follow-up duration ranged from 4 months to 5 years. There were no complications. Sphincter function was totally preserved.
Conclusion: Novel proposed method is an effective, reliable and safe procedure to treat recurrent recto-urethral fistulas. This technique provides good view of intestine and urethra without damaging the sphincter and levator structures, and also respects the principle of separating the fistulous tract with total resection of altered segment of the intestine, which eliminates all pathogenetic mechanisms of fistula recurrence.

Treatment of acquired rectovesical or rectourethral fistula can be very challenging for surgeons. When a conservative approach fails, complex surgery is needed, with a substantial probability of complications and recurrences. In order to minimize the need for major surgery, autologous mesenchymal stem cells have been used to treat fistulas, especially in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.

Introduction: Spontaneous closure of rectourethral fistulas (RUF), often seen after radical prostatectomy (RP), is rare, and most cases require surgical repair. In recent years, the perineal approach has become the preferred technique. This study aimed to retrospectively present the surgical and functional results of transperineal buccal mucosal graft repair of RUFs developed after RP.
