What's the best treatment to get rid of rectovaginal fistula?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Excision: If the fistula is small enough it may close on its own. If not it needs to be removed. If the entire tract is not removed it will just reform.

Surgery: This can be corrected by a gynecologist, uro-gynecologist, or colo-rectal surgeon. Depending on the exact condition, it may require more than one of these specialists.
