[Repair of post-traumatic recto-vesical fistulae. A new technique (author's transl)]

Surgery for post-traumatic recto-vesicle fistulae involves two major risks : recurrence and residual sphincter disturbances. It would appear that a solution may be offered in the form of transanal pre-rectal colonic lowering. This technique, which is easy to perform, and which involves no suture, has been used successfully in an 11 and a half year old child.
