Single stage repair of rectourinary fistula.

The treatment of 2 prostato-rectal fistulas by a single stage York Mason repair and cystostomy is described. We realize that the therapy of rectourinary fistulas should be individualized and for the ill or septic patient the 3-stage treatment including colostomy is safe and conservative. However, for the patient in good condition the 1-stage repair seems to be an effective shortcut.
