Abstract
- The authors applied anterior sagittal transrectal apporach (ASTRA) for the repair of urethrovaginal fistula which developed after total repair of persistent cloaca. The patient had been diagnosed to have persistent cloaca, double uterus and double vagina, and received PSARP, excision of right-side uterus and vagina, and left vaginal switch operation at 22 months old. After operation, the patient admitted several times due to frequent urinary tract infection and ectopic stone formation in bladder and neovagina. Urethro-neovaginal fistula was confirmed by cystoscopy and corrected with ASTRA. Postoperative voiding cystourethrogram showed no fistula tract. ASTRA showed improved surgical field, minimized ureterocystic damage, and preserved perirectal nerve due to limited incision of rectum.
