Laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty (LAARP) was introduced in 2000 by Georgeson (J Pediatr Surg. 2000;35:927-930) and has gained interest because of improved visualization of the rectal fistula and the ability to place the pull-through segment within the levator muscle complex with minimal dissection. Currently, there is no consensus on how the fistula should be managed during LAARP. We postulated that the fistula could be managed with simple division and temporary diversion of urine through a Foley catheter without surgical ligation of the fistula similar to the management of a traumatic urethral injury.
