Key Points

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty for anorectal malformations without rectourinary fistula ligation.
Conducted at a tertiary center over two decades.
Focused on patients with anorectal malformations absent ligation of rectourinary fistula.
Collected long-term urological and functional outcome data.
No patients experienced urethral injury.
Favorable long-term urological outcomes were reported.
Demonstrated effective functional outcomes for patients.

Implication

Surgical technique shows effective long-term outcomes in patients with anorectal malformations, suggesting its safety.

Abstract

LAARP without ligation of the RUF for ARM appears to be a safe and effective technique, with favorable long-term urological and functional outcomes. No patients experienced urethral injury or ROOF.
