Though various surgical procedures have been reported for the repair of RVFs, the results of surgical repair are often unsatisfactory, and failure of the initial repair leads to difficulty in the later operations. Furthermore, it has been reported that cases associated with local infection result in low success rates. We report a case of an 80-year-old woman with a recurrent colonic J pouch-vaginal fistula after anoabdominal rectal resection with partial internal sphincteric resection, who achieved a good outcome following a repair using a puborectal sling interposition combined with seton drainage. It may be a useful option for RVF management in repair of such pouch-vaginal fistula after coloanal anastomosis with intersphincteric resection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/intsurg-d-13-00187.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,2]],"date-time":"2014-12-02T00:06:49Z","timestamp":1417478809000},"page":"710-713","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Puborectal Sling Interposition Combined With Seton Drainage for Pouch-Vaginal Fistula After Rectal Cancer Surgery With Colonic J Pouch-Anal Reconstruction: Report of a Case"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Aya","family":"Kawamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Okigami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshinaga","family":"Okugawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junichiro","family":"Hiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuji","family":"Toiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Tanaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keiichi","family":"Uchida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiko","family":"Mohri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Kusunoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gastrointestinal and Pediatric Surgery, Division of Reparative Medicine, Institute of Life Sciences, Mie University Graduate School of Medicine, Tsu, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"i0020-8868-99-6-710-b01","series-title":"Surgery","first-page":"329","article-title":"Rectovaginal fistulas after rectal cancer surgery: ncidence and operative repair by gluteal-fold flap repair","volume":"137","author":"Kosugi\n              C,","year":"2005","unstructured":"Kosugi\n              C, \n            \n              Saito\n              N, \n            \n              Kimata\n              Y, \n            \n              Ono\n              M, \n            \n              Sugito\n              M, \n            \n              Ito\n              M\n            \n            et al\n          .
