Hi, I had a Hartman's reversal after 5 years. 11 days after, I ended up with a rectovaginal fistula. Waiting for an operation to correct it. I wonder if anyone has had experience with one of these and some tips while I'm waiting. Thank you in advance 🥰

You are having a rather rare complication. I suspect you have had a hysterectomy. It is also possible that you have a leak of your Hartmann reversal. Did you have Crohn's disease? Most people have Hartmann procedures for diverticular disease.

You are so right. I will never forget this website and the people who have helped me. I had my reversal in January of 2014. I try and come on this website weekly to see if I can help or encourage other individuals get through the day-to-day process of life.
