Re: Delivery mode in a patient with a previous rectovaginal fistulaFrom: Rjwoolley@aol.comSun Aug 31 17:03:43 1997
If there has been an effective repair of an urinary or fecal incontinence that was previously invalidating I am absolutely *for* a cesarean. In fact it's only a matter of informed consent. So if the informed woman prefers a VD... ********* But Ron's point (if I may be so bold as to speak for him for the moment; and why not? After all, I've agreed with him 3 times in the last 24 hours, which is some sort of record, and should probably cause one or the other of us to re-examine his positoins....) was, I think, that the condition of the recto-vaginal septum after repair of a fistula is probably not terribly different from that after repair of a 4th degree tear. So if you advocate automatic C-section in the former case, it's logical that you should in the latter as well. Do you? If not, why not?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
