Management of rectovaginal fistula (RVF) remains a challenge, especially in cases of postoperative RVF as they are often large and surrounded by inflammatory and fibrotic tissue, making local repair difficult or even impossible.

The aim of this study was to assess the results of DCAA for RVF observed after rectal surgery.
