Gracilis Muscle Interposition for Rectourethral Fistula After Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: A Prospective Evaluation and Long-term Follow-up.

Background: Postoperative rectourethral fistula after radical prostatectomy is an infrequent but very serious problem.

Objective: We aimed to describe our experience with transperineal repair and unilateral gracilis muscle interposition in patients with rectourethral fistula after radical prostatectomy in nonradiated prostate cancer.

Design: This was a cohort study.
