Abstract
A classification of anatomic defects of the rectovaginal septum secondary to obstetric and/or surgical trauma is presented. Five distinct types are described on the basis of the location of the fistula and the associated anatomic alteration. A review of 57 patients based on this classification showed its applicability to preoperative management and surgical technique utilized.
