Despite recent reports that outcome of LapPE for BA may be unfavorable compared with the conventional open portoenterostomy, our results would suggest that JLapPE can be performed successfully, because it is performed exactingly according to a standard protocol. JLapPE will continue to be our procedure of choice for treating BA.

Urethrocutaneous fistula is a common complication after redo urethroplasty for hypospadias, or urethroplasty for patients with thin urethral plate. We modified Snodgrass' tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (STIPU) by stripping the most superficial skin from both sides of the U-shaped incision to expose more subcutaneous tissue along the suture line. Our modified STIPU would appear to be effective in preventing postoperative urethrocutaneous fistula formation in redo urethroplasty for hypospadias, and urethroplasty for patients with thin urethral plate.

Although JC was better after LPE, 3BM were better after OPE. Further follow-up will prove the comprehensive prognostic value of 3BM.
