ABSTRACT

Background: The rectovaginal fistula is a rare disease whose treatment is extremely difficult.
Objective: To present the expectant management of rectovaginal fistula as an alternative to surgery for those cases in which the surgical risk is not an acceptable option.
Clinical case: We report the case of a rectovaginal fistula in an 85-yearold woman with significant comorbidity that avoided the performance of any surgical technique.
Conclusion: In patients whose surgical risk does not exceed the benefits, non-surgical management would be an option of treatment of rectovaginal fistula.
