A 36 years old woman underwent rectal resection with colpotomy for endometriosis. The patient presented an anastomotic leak and colpotomy breakdown, and a laparoscopic lavage of pelvic fecal peritonitis with a protective ileostomy was performed. Patient developed a rectovaginal fistula. We performed a pull-through procedure with delayed anastomosis associated with the repair of the vaginal defect and ileostomy closure. The coloanal anastomosis was performed 8 days after the pull-through procedure. A new rectovaginal fistula recurrence was observed, and a new redo pull-through was performed. Further resection of the colonic stump with a coloanal anastomosis after 18 days was uneventful.
