Success rate for pin hole rectovaginal fistula. 39 yr old female. 4 vaginal births. rectocele stage 1. i am worried about surgery and success rate. no stool coming thru just gas with reoccurring bv. please advise ?

RV fistula ?'s: Best is to be referred to a colorectal surgeon, as this requires expertise to produce consistently good results. Without surgery, the fistula will be a constant source of vaginal problems, and the rectocoele can be repaired at the same time.
