An invertogram revealed the type as intermediate. Transverse colostomy was performed at the left upper abdomen. A recto\u2010bulbar urethral fistula (RBUF) was diagnosed via distal colostogram and voiding cystourethrogram. LAARP was planned at 6\u2009months of age. We performed the operation with four trocars. A 45\u00b0 5\u2010mm scope was used to clearly view the deep pelvic space. Before starting rectal dissection, a 6\u2010Fr pig\u2010tail\u2010type NIRC was inserted through the external opening of the urethra to visualize the urethra during the laparoscopic procedure. The catheter tip was placed in the bladder, and excretion of urine was maintained through the NIRC during the procedures. While dissecting the deep pelvic space between the posterior wall of the urethra and anterior wall of the rectum, the exact line of the urethra was clearly confirmed by overlay images of the NIRC. The RBUF was dissected safely using this innovative image\u2010guided technique. Anoplasty was performed between the rectal stump and perineal skin. The postoperative course was uneventful. Oral intake was started on postoperative day 1. Postoperative dynamic urography showed no complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>An NIRC is useful for detecting the urethra during
