The obstetric literature was reviewed to assess the risk of episiotomy dehiscence and rectovaginal fistula formation from routine episiotomy, with and without third- and fourth-degree laceration into the rectal sphincter or rectal mucosa, respectively. Strong evidence suggests that elective episiotomy predisposes to severe 3rd and 4th degree perineal lacerations and that episiotomy dehiscence with rectovaginal fistula formation is strongly related to 3rd and 4th degree perineal lacerations.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a one-stage procedure called anterior sagittal sphincter saving anorectoplasty (ASSSARP) for repairing rectovestibular fistula (RVF) in children.
- It reviews 41 cases from 2010 to 2019, detailing postoperative complications, hospital stays, and functional and cosmetic outcomes.
- Findings suggest that ASSSARP has good results, with minimal complications and no need for additional surgeries, making it a preferable option compared to traditional three-stage repair methods.
Purpose Of Review: Increasing uptake of gender affirming surgery has allowed for a wider breadth of publication examining complications associated with vaginoplasty. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of complications associated with vaginoplasty procedures, focusing on intraoperative, early postoperative, and delayed postoperative complications across different surgical techniques.
Recent Findings: Intraoperative complications such as bleeding, injury of the rectum, urethra and prostate, and intra-abdominal injury are discussed, with insights into their incidence rates and management strategies.

Aim: Compare the laparoscopic treatment (LT) and the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty treatment (ST) of the rectovaginal fistulas (RvaF) in a single center. We have previously reported feasibility and results of LT in this rare variety of anorectal malformations (ARM) [1-3].
Material And Methods: 19 patients were treated between February 2000 and November 2020.
