Acquired rectourethral fistula (RUF) is a rare but major complication of posterior urethral valve ablation. We present a case of a 1-year-old boy managed in a staged manner by completion of posterior urethral valves ablation, colostomy, RUF division through anterior sagittal transanorectal approach, and stoma closure. The child is continent for urine and feces.
