case_images: The colostomy was closed 45 days after the reconstruction; 6 months later she was fully continent of stools ( Fig. 2C ). 
case_images: With the patient prone, a lone star retractor is positioned to facilitate exposure. The perineal reconstruction is then performed. (
  A
  ) Stay sutures are positioned on the common wall between the rectum and the vagina. (
  B
  ) Using a needle tip diathermy, an incision is made just below the stay sutures and the dissection begins to separate the anterior rectal wall from the posterior vagina.

case_images: Figs. 3 - 5 illustrate the key steps of the approach.  Stay sutures are positioned on the common wall between the rectum and the vagina ( Fig. 3A ). Using a needle-tip diathermy, an incision is made just below the stay sutures and the dissection begins to separate the anterior rectal wall from the posterior vagina ( Fig. 3B ).
case_images: (
  A
  ) An additional line of stay sutures is then positioned on the vaginal mucosa. Exerting a countertraction on the two suture lines the dissection is continued to separate the rectum from the vagina. (
  B
  ) The separation is only complete when an areolar plane has been reached between two structures.

case_images: Figs. 3 - 5 illustrate the key steps of the approach.  An additional line of stay sutures is then positioned on the vaginal wall ( Fig. 4A ). The separation is only complete when the typical fibroareolar plane has been reached that exists between two structures ( Fig. 4B ).
case_images: (
  A
  ) The perineal body is then reconstructed with interrupted absorbable sutures and the sphincter complex is reapproximated. (
  B
  ) Reconstruction is completed with an anoplasty of the anterior rectal wall which is sutured to the reconstructed perineal body. The skin is then closed with interrupted absorbable sutures.

case_images: Figs. 3 - 5 illustrate the key steps of the approach.  The perineal body is then reconstructed with interrupted absorbable sutures and the sphincter complex is reapproximated ( Fig. 5A ). The skin is then closed with interrupted absorbable sutures ( Fig. 5B ).
