Spontaneous fistula between anorectum and vagina is extremely uncommon. Successful repair depends on etiology, location and the expertise of the surgeon. We report two cases of spontaneous stercoral perforation resulting in rectovaginal fistula (RVF). Both occurred in bedridden patients with fecal impaction. One patient was successfully repaired with a bulbocavernosus (BC) flap interposition. Flap interposition prevents vaginal stenosis in repair of multiple RVF.
