Areproductive clinical examination revealed third degree perineal laceration compromising mucosa of the vulva,vestibule and vagina with presence of hemorrhage, small amount purulent exudate, pnemovagina and presenceof a rectovaginal communication orifice with fecal contamination. The surgical treatment approached wasvulvoplasty for plastic recovery of the vulva, perineum and rectum allied to the use of antibiotic therapy, antiinflammatory,cleaning of the lesion and adequate diet.
