Has anyone else developped a rectovaginal fistula after radiotherapy for rectal cancer (after a transanal resection)? Did you undergo surgery to solve it? What surgery did you have? How do you feel about it?

Hi @verol65, I merged your 2 discussions into one. I'm sorry that treatment to treat rectal cancer has led to the complication of a rectovaginal fistula. You may appreciate the posts from @blinken @bjbrocks @mahoney @catherine1290 and others in this related discussion as you investigate your options:

– Has anyone had personal experience with rectovaginal fistula repair? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-had-personal-experience-with-recto-vaginal-fistula-repair/

Is your surgeon experienced in Turnbull-Cutait pull-through coloanal anastomosis? Would you require an ileostomy after surgery?
