Abstract

It is generally recommended to refrain from taking rectal biopsies in radioproctopathy. Herein we describe the clinical characteristics of urorectal fistulas after such biopsies in five patients. Conservative treatment is rarely successful. Diagnostic difficulties and comorbidities limiting the possibilities for radical surgical treatment options (i e pelvic exenteration) for urorectal fistulas are discussed.
