Abstract

A case of traumatic rectovesical fistula in a 14-year-old boy is presented. A transvesical approach was employed to access the defect. This approach provided excellent exposure, ease of surgery, and an uncomplicated post-operative course. The operative procedure is described, and aspects of the case are discussed.
