Introduction: The rectovaginal fistula is a complex surgical pathology to treat. Obstetric perineal trauma and inflammatory bowel diseases, especially Crohn's disease, are the most frequent causes. Surgical repair with a Martius flap in experienced hands has shown good results with minimal morbidity in selected patients. Material and Methods: We present a clinical case of a patient who had a late postpartum rectovaginal fistula, which recurred early after attempting surgical treatment consisting of an advancement flap, requiring defunctionalization of the transit with a loop colostomy. Subsequently, a Martius flap was performed with a successful result. Results: Satisfactory evolution. The patient presented a dehiscence of the perineal wound which required only ambulatory dressings. At 8 months from the Martius flap was made, the colostomy was closed. At 30 months post-flap, the patient is in good condition, with no evidence of recurrence and normal intestinal transit. Conclusion: In this clinical case, the Martius flap was a safe and effective alternative in the treatment of a recurrent rectovaginal fistula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Mucormycosis is a rare and opportunistic disease that mainly affects immunocompromised patients. Few cases of peristomal involvement have been reported. Clinically it can be confused with other pathologies and may have a fulminant evolution, so an adequate and prompt diagnosis is necessary for an early establishment of treatment. Clinical Case: We present the case of a 62-year-old immunocompromised patient who, after surgical complications, evolves with periostomal mucormycosis of the abdominal wall. Despite surgical treatment with multiple tissue resections, associated with local and systemic antifungal agents, the patient died, consistent with the lethality expressed in the literature.
