[Closure of persisting rectourethral fistula after suprasymphyseal adenoma enucleation of the prostate by combining the Bressel-Naujox and gracilis flap procedure].

When taking into consideration the basic principles of fistula surgery, numerous options are available for the surgical repair of rectourethral fistulas. However, there is no standard regarding which surgical method should be used under which circumstances-due to the heterogeneity of this disease. This case report describes the individual adaptation of a surgical technique that is used for the treatment of vesicovaginal fistulas to treat a rectourethral fistula in a patient who had already undergone an unsuccessful fistula closure attempt. Successful closure of the fistula was achieved on the basis of an established method using tissue interposition.
