Modified York Mason technique for repair of iatrogenic recto-urinary fistula: 20?years of the Montsouris experience

摘要

Purpose Iatrogenic recto-urinary fistulas are a disastrous complication of therapeutic interventions on the prostate. Many surgical approaches have been described to repair recto-urinary fistulas and no consensus has been reached regarding the better approach. The objective of this study is to present the results of our updated 20-year experience in the surgical management of recto-urinary fistula using a modified York Mason procedure. Methods We proceed to a retrospective single-institution review of surgically treated patients for iatrogenic recto-urinary fistulas between 1998 and 2017 by the modified York Mason technique. Descriptive analysis of our population was performed. Continuous and categorical variables were compared using Mann–Whitney and Fischer tests, respectively. All tests were two-sided with a significance level set at p value
