Previously undescribed treatment for persistent peritoneal-perineal fistula following proctectomy.

Persistent perineal sinus is a common complication following proctectomy for inflammatory bowel disease. Complete excision of the sinus tract and obliteration of dead space have been stressed as important aspects of treatment. A patient is described in whom the perineal sinus persisted despite three surgical attempts at cure. Combined perineal exploration and laparotomy revealed a communicating peritoneal-perineal fistula. A combined perineal and peritoneal approach may be indicated in treating the perineal sinus that persists despite perineal excision.
