Laparoscopic management of congenital H-type urethroanal fistula

Laparoscopic management in a case of congenital urethroanal fistula with a normal anterior urethra in a 5-month-old male child is reported. A congenital H-type urethroanal fistula is a rare entity. Management of such fistula has always been surgical, ranging from perineal dissection, posterior saggital approach, to abdomino-perineal approach. We describe a minimally invasive laparoscopic method for approaching such fistula, which has not been described in the literature and is being reported for the first time.
