Abstract (original English)

We present a case of a chronic recurrent rectovaginal fistula that initially arose from complications of haemorrhoid surgery and had failed multiple prior surgical repairs. The fistula was successfully managed using viable cryopreserved placental tissue.

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • Without an adequate control group, treatment effects cannot be separated from other factors.

Evidence level

Early human evidence such as case series or small samples is exploring possible benefits.
