Resumo

We report our experience with the Latzko technique for rectourinary fistula repair after radical retropubic prostatectomy and cystoprostatectomy.We performed 7 fistula repairs in 6 patients. The 1-stage procedure was based on a technique for vesicovaginal fistula closure with denudation of the rectal mucosa and multilayer closure of the fistulous tract.Closure was successful in all patients, although 1 had to undergo the procedure twice. There were no postoperative complications.The Latzko procedure is effective for rectourinary fistula repair and associated with minimal morbidity.
