Fig. 1

RVF morphology observed using a linear array probe on transrectal sagittal section. The ultrasonic image clearly demonstrates the fistula opening at the vagina and fistula opening in the rectal wall using the linear array probe, which is more advantageous than the convex array probe when observing fistula morphology and the surrounding anatomical structures. Abbreviations: V, vagina; R, rectum. The small arrow indicates the fistula opening at the vagina. The large arrow indicates the fistula opening in the rectal wall. The asterisks denote the fistulas, in which punctate strong echoes formed by gas can be seen
