The definitive treatment for rectal-vaginal fistula?

Question
Hello doctor,
My wife has a rectal-vaginal fistula, has undergone surgery for 2 months, opens an stoma. Currently, she has just entered surgery to close the colostomy, but now she has recurred rectal-vaginal fistula. So the doctor gave me a definitive treatment for rectal - vaginal fistula? Can I go to Vinmec for examination and treatment? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “The definitive treatment for rectal - vaginal fistula? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Vaginal rectal fistula is a complicated condition that can come after a disease of the anal canal, rectum (hemorrhoids, anal fistula, ...) or after obstetric intervention (normal delivery without episiotomy,...).
Your wife should go to a reputable specialist facility because the risk of treatment failure is high.
If you still have questions about the definitive treatment of rectal - vaginal fistula, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
