Rectovaginal Fistula Repair with Diverting Loop Ileostomy
The anterior and perineal views of a rectovaginal fistula repair with a diverting loop ileostomy. The rectovaginal fistula repair encompasses dissecting the vaginal wall from from the underlying rectum and ensuring the fistula is closed. The diverting loop ileostomy includes pulling the loop of the ileum through the abdominal wall for the creation of the ileostomy stoma in order to allow the drainage of fecal material while the fistula repair site heals.
