Description
Taro Ikeda and co-authors describe a gentler operation for a birth defect of the anus in this 2026 paper. Vestibular fistula is a common malformation in girls, where the bowel opens in the wrong place. Standard repair cuts a long seam toward the new anus, and wound trouble there is feared. The new method avoids any stitched cut in the perineal skin.
Surgeons open only at the anus, split the sphincter by the standard front approach, and free the fistula tract from inside. The leftover tract is then turned inside out and drawn out through the vestibular opening for removal. The authors present the single-stage method as a way to cut wound risk.
