Abstract

•We describe a case of a persistent rectourethral fistula repaired through a transperineal approach.•The fistula was excised, the rectum and the urethrovesical anastomosis were sutured.•A porcine dermal graft was interposed between the rectum and the urinary tract.•No fistula recurrence occurred at 1-year follow-up.
