Core Tip	A prospective study of 19 patients with complex rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) and rectourethral fistulas (RUFs) undergoing gracilis muscle transposition followed by postoperative salvage wound irrigation-suction was reported to yield an overall healing rate of 94.7%. In addition, quality of life and fecal incontinence were reported to be significantly improved after the successful healing of RVFs and RUFs.
