Abstract: Ovarian cancer combined with internal rectal fistula is relatively rare in clinical practice.Currently,there is no standard protocol for balancing the urgency of intestinal fistula treatment with the timing and radicality of ovarian cancer surgery.This consensus is based on evidence-based medicine,combined with domestic and international literature,relevant guidelines,and expert opinions,to propose systematic and actionable diagnosis and treatment strategies.This consensus emphasizes that the diagnosis and treatment of rectal fistula should get a balance between tumor control and safe management of the fistula.It advocates individualized treatment plans(including conservative treatment,nutritional support,chemotherapy,optimized surgical timing,and endoscopic minimally invasive techniques),and recommends multidisciplinary team collaboration to develop comprehensive treatment plans,improve surgical safety,and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Key words: ovarian cancer, internal rectal fistula, expert consensus
