RECTOURINARY FISTULA (596.1)
Overview
Rectourinary fistula is a direct communication of the rectum or anal canal with the bladder or urethra. This is a problem of
male patients (in women, vagina/uterus are interposed).
Common causes: congenital anomaly (anorectal malformations); acquired—postsurgical (iatrogenic: prostatectomy, low
anterior resection, etc), pelvic malignancy, radiation injury, inflammatory bowel disease, trauma (perineal, rectal, urethral).
The communication may result in bidirectional flow of feces/bacteria into the urine or leakage of urine through the rectum.
Treatment (type of repair, timing) depends on the severity of symptoms, underlying etiology, tissue quality (eg, after recent
surgery, postradiation, etc), and level of the fistula (in reach from perineum or not?): need to distinguish rectourinary fistula
(low) from colovesical or enterovesical fistula (high).

RECTOVAGINAL FISTULA (619.1)
Overview
Rectovaginal fistula is a direct communication of the rectum or anal canal with the vagina. Following a high-to-low pressure
gradient, both stool and gas may pass through the vagina. The amount of material passing depends on the diameter and
length of the fistula track, its exact location, the stool consistency, and the absolute endorectal pressure build-up.
Most rectovaginal fistulae are acquired, eg, postobstetric injury or anorectal surgery (rectocele repair, hemorrhoidectomy,
LAR), radiation injury, perirectal/-neal abscesses (cryptoglandular, Crohn disease).
Treatment (type of repair, timing) depends on the severity of symptoms, underlying etiology, tissue quality (eg, after recent

surgery, postradiation, etc), and level of the fistula (in reach from perineum or not?): need to distinguish rectovaginal fistula
from colovaginal or enterovaginal fistula (high).
Epidemiology
Incidence: overall unknown because of various different etiologies. Obstetric injuries in 0.1–1% associated with rectovaginal
fistula, radiation in 1–6%, Crohn disease in 5–10%.

skin irritation.
Very small fistulae may be asymptomatic.

ENDOMETRIOSIS (617.X)
Overview
Endometriosis is the presence of functional endometrium outside the uterus. As pathogenesis remains unclear, different
theories have evolved: endometriosis foci stemming from retrograde menstruation vs celomic metaplasia vs direct
dissemination during GYN surgery.
Epidemiology
Typical age: 20–40 years. Endometriosis involving intestines in 10–30%, majority of which show at least some symptoms.
Symptoms
Depending on the location:
GYN symptoms: infertility, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, etc.
Bowel symptoms: cyclic bleeding, obstruction with constipation/diarrhea, cyclic pain/tenesmus; if near surface
(perineum, rectovaginal septum)
cyclic swelling and pain; perforation rare.
Bladder symptoms: bleeding, dysuria, urgency.
Incidental finding of pelvic mass (CT scan, MRI, ultrasound).
Differential Diagnosis
Bowel symptoms or mass related to other causes: cancer, diverticulitis, Crohn disease, etc.
Pathology
Functional endometrium (no neoplastic activity) in ectopic sites, either extrinsic or involving mucosa, desmoplastic reaction,
formation of adhesions. Locations: cul-de-sac, sigmoid colon, ovary, appendix, small bowel, other colon.
Evaluation
REQUIRED MINIMAL STANDARD

History: careful evaluation of symptoms and relationship to menstrual cycle clinical suspicion. Further hint from
responsiveness to hormonal therapy (eg, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, danazol, etc).
Clinical examination (ideally around menstrual bleeding), including bidigital exam of rectovaginal septum (
visible/palpable
lesions?)
Rigid/flexible sigmoidoscopy: extrinsic fixation and angulation, tethering of mucosa.
Full colonic evaluation: colonoscopy vs contrast enema, biopsies rarely conclusive if mucosa not involved (but rules out
colorectal cancer).
GYN evaluation.
ADDITIONAL TESTS (OPTIONAL)
CT/MRI abdomen/pelvis.
Endorectal/transvaginal ultrasound.
Classification
Based on:
Number and distribution pattern of endometriosis implants.
Depth of implants penetration: deeply penetrating vs superficial.
Severity of perifocal scar tissue (adhesions).
Nonoperative Treatment
Asymptomatic or little symptomatic intestinal endometriosis: oral contraceptives, danazol, gonadotropin-releasing hormone
agonists (eg, leuprolide, goserelin, etc).
Operative Treatment
INDICATIONS
Symptomatic treatment-refractory endometriosis.
Intestinal endometriosis: obstruction, or if diagnosis in doubt (eg, pelvic mass).
Incidental finding during surgery for other cause.
OPERATIVE APPROACH
Laparoscopic/open removal of endometriosis foci, complete whenever possible.
Segmental bowel resection vs focal bowel wall excision.
Preservation of fertility no oophorectomy/hysterectomy without consent!
Outcome
Postoperatively, symptomatic pain relief > 80%, nearly complete relief of cyclic bleeding and obstructive symptoms,
satisfaction in 50–80% of patients (depending on whether oophorectomy performed or not).

ACUTE LOWER GI BLEEDING (578.9)
Overview
Acute lower GI bleeding may be brisk and life-threatening unless decisive management prevents a patient's fatal
deterioration. Immediate resuscitation and transfusions are key to maintaining hemodynamic stability. Active intervention is
desirable but requires identification of a target. However, there is no universally applicable sequence of investigations, and
positive identification of the bleeding source often remains elusive for several reasons:
Bleeding is a common symptom of a wide spectrum of different causes and locations.
Bleeding may originate from any segment of the GI tract and unselectively accumulate in others.
Severity may vary with time: severe bleeding may often occur intermittently with often long and equally
unpredictable interval periods in between.
Emergency surgery with educated guess of likely bleeding source may be the only option but carries associated morbidity
and mortality and may not prevent recurrent bleeding.
Epidemiology
Incidence: unknown, 0.5–1% of hospital admissions; 75–85% of bleeding episodes spontaneously stop. Recurrent bleeding
in 25–40% (depending on etiology).
Symptoms
Bleeding per rectum: bright red, dark red, melena—rectal evacuation potentially significantly delayed to actual bleeding
episode.
Depending on magnitude of bleeding: associated hemodynamic impact.
Differential Diagnosis
Colonic Origin
