Brief Summary

The method of Cotton Padding (mCP) was summarized by combining with many years clinical experience and the traditional ancient books.The mCP could be used in Rectovaginal Fistula (RVF) post operation effectively,in order to improve the wound.The research aim is to observe if the mCP could influence the time of staying in hospital, healing time after RVF surgery.

Study Arms (2)

using the mCP

When the secretion reducing or the wound suture being removed, two pieces of 5cm×7cm-12p sterile gauzes will be crimped by the long side as the center of the reel,and be made as cylindrical gauze rolls with about D=1.5cm. After cleaning the wound, the cylindrical gauze rolls with its surface covered by alginates dressing will be placed above the vaginal wound with the help of endoscope.Itself tension of the rolls pressuring on the wound and the deep tissue can promote the wound healing. The rolls will be placed on about 5-6 hours every time, 2 times a day, for 7 days.Then observing the wound, if necessary, the method will be executed for another 7 days.

Procedure: the mCP with alginates dressing

no using the mCP

When the secretion reducing or the wound suture bing removed, only alginates dressing will be placed above the vaginal wound with the help of endoscope, without any pressure, being placed about 5-6 hours every time, 2 times a day, for 7 days.

Procedure: only alginates dressing

Interventions

The method is to use gauzes folded onto the RVF wound surface to compact the deep wound so as to solid and durable,when the gauzes surface will be covered by alginates dressing.

Also known as: the method of cotton padding with alginates dressing
using the mCP

Only alginates dressing will be placed above the RVF wound without any pressure.

Also known as: only alginates dressing without the mCP
no using the mCP

Study Population

Rectovaginal fistulae are rare and account for less than 5% of all anorectal fistulae\[1,2\]. The most common cause of RVF is obstetric trauma\[2\]. Trauma to the rectum, perineum,or vagina may cause RVF.The commonest form of trauma is during or following surgery, although blunt or penetrating trauma to the perineum or use of a foreign body in the vagina or rectum are well-recognized causes.The use of surgical stapling devices during stapled hemorrhoidectomy and stapled transanal rectal resections (STARR) have been implicated.

You may qualify if:

  • rectovaginal fistula because of parturition,stapler,traumatic injury.

You may not qualify if:

  • rectovaginal fistula because of IBD,radiation,cancer.
