Abstract

The authors present an unusual and, according to the available literature data, so far unused method--management of the rectovaginal fistule, using a T.E.M. technique (transanal endoscopic microsurgery). In their case-review of a female patient, they present advantages of this technique in a case of a rare disorder - a benign rectovaginal fistule. All of the following employment of a harmonic scalpel in the T.E.M. method, as well as of a tissue adhesive Tissucol and of a surgical rectoscope in the vaginal phase of the procedure, deserve attention of surgeons and gynaecologists.
