Abstract:
Rectourethral fistula (RUF) has been difficult to manage in urology due to its special anatomical location,complicated condition and uncertain prognosis. With the increasing incidence of prostate cancer,the incidence of RUF as a serious complication is also rising. Major treatment methods of RUF include conservative treatment and surgical treatment such as transabdominal approach,trans-perineal approach,trans-sphincter approach and trans-anal approach. However,there is no explicit treatment protocol. In recent years,the application of modified York-Mason technique has achieved good results. This article details the key steps and surgical experience of the technique.
