Eighty-one patients (conventional: 36, LAARP: 45) were enrolled from 15 centers. In both groups, the mean Kelly score was 5. The total score of the scoring system was newly developed by the Japanese Study Group of Anorectal Anomalies Follow-up Project (5-15 points) was 10.7 and 12.1 in the conventional group and the LAARP group, respectively (p=0.07). The incidence of failed rectoanal anastomosis, mucosal prolapse, and anal stenosis was comparable in both groups. Posterior urethral diverticula were detected on cystourethrograms in 7% and 11% (p=1.0) and on MRI in 0% and 34% (p=0.02) of the conventional and the LAARP groups, respectively. Overall, 94% of diverticula were asymptomatic.
