X-Flap Repair Of Acquired Chronic Cloaca

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a 52-year-old female patient who suffered a fourth-degree obstetrical laceration over 30 years ago seeks surgical correction for her acquired deformity. The patient experienced fecal urgency, difficulty with personal hygiene, and painful intercourse. A surgical exam reveals a cloaca-like deformity with the external anal sphincter retracted and a thin scar band separating the vagina and rectum. The surgery involves making an incision to reattach and repair the sphincters and rectovaginal septum. Post-surgery, the patient is discharged home and after six months, she has achieved fecal continence. No credits are mentioned in the transcript.
