Abstract:
We describe the outcome and management of an unusual and interesting case of delayed post-traumatic prostatorectal fistula in a 40-year-old man. The fistula was repaired successfully via transperineal access without rectal or sphincteric transgression. We found the transperineal surgical approach simple, effective and useful in approaching the prostatorectal region for rectourinary fistulas. The transperineal approach is useful and should be considered in such select cases. We describe our technique that may be beneficial to many urologists.
