[Chinese experts consensus on diagnosis and treatment of rectovaginal fistula (2022 edition)].

Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is an abnormal connection between the rectum and the vagina. At present, the principle method for RVF is surgery. With a variety of surgical methods, clinicians still lack a generally recognized consensus on RVF. Therefore, based on latest evidence from literature and expert experience, the Clinical Guidelines Committee of Chinese Medical Doctor Association Anorectal Branch organized domestic experts in anorectal surgery and gynecology to discuss the etiology, classification, diagnosis, treatment and special types of rectovaginal fistula of RVF, through questionnaires and expert seminars. "Chinese experts consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of rectovaginal fistula (2022 edition)" was produced in order to deepen the understanding of RVF, and to provide a standardized treatment for RVF in order to reduce the failure rate of surgery.直肠阴道瘘是指直肠与阴道之间出现病理性通道。目前，该疾病的治疗主要以手术治疗为主，手术方式多种多样，临床医生对该疾病尚缺乏普遍认可的共识，故中国医师协会肛肠医师分会临床指南工作委员会通过借鉴国内外文献，结合我国的研究成果及专家临床实践经验，多次组织国内肛肠外科、妇科专家通过问卷调查、专家意见讨论会等方式，对直肠阴道瘘病因、分类、诊断、治疗、特殊类型的直肠阴道瘘等多方面相关问题，进行了多次讨论，达成共识。撰写《直肠阴道瘘诊治中国专家共识（2022版）》，旨在加深对直肠阴道瘘的认识，提高对直肠阴道瘘的诊断水平，为直肠阴道瘘的治疗提供规范的治疗方案，以降低手术失败率。.
