Introduction
- Rectovestibular/vaginal injuries have a similar pathogenesis to third degree perineal lacerations Perineum: trauma , ie injury during foaling, but natural or manually assisted retraction of the foal's foot from the rectum during parturition leaves a fistula between the rectum and the caudal reproductive tract without destroying the perineal body Vagina: trauma
.
- Surgical preparation, anesthesia, principles of repair and post-operative management of these injuries are the same as for third degree perineal lacerations Perineum: trauma - repair but there are different surgical repair techniques available to the surgeon.
