Mid term functional results following surgical treatment of recto-urinary fistulas postprostate cancer treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: RUF following prostate cancer treatment is a serious complication with severe repercussion on patients' quality of life. Surgical repair with the York Mason technique or Gracilis Flap interposition is associated with good success rates. If available pediculed gracilis muscle should be used as it offers better success rates. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3. PMID: 30213561 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
