In total, 42 patients (Group A) underwent repair following a one-stage method in which tunica vaginalis flap-covering was combined with a modified Glenn\u2013Anderson procedure, while 44 patients (Group B) underwent a two-step repair consisting of tunica vaginalis flap-covering using the Duplay technique and the modified Glenn\u2013Anderson procedure. The two groups were compared on operation time, length of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications, and associated costs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All operations were successful in both groups. No statistical difference was observed between the two groups in incidence of stenosis of the urinary meatus (2.38% vs. 4.54%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.279), urethral stricture (2.38% vs. 2.27%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.948), urinary fistula (7.14% vs. 6.82%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.907), or urinary infection (7.14% vs. 4.55%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.309). Additionally, there was no statistical difference between the groups in operation time (63.21\u2009\u00b1\u20095.20 vs. 62.07\u2009\u00b1\u20094.47\u2005min, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.059), postoperative off-bed time (7.02\u2009\u00b1\u20091.32 vs. 6.84\u2009\u00b1\u20091.20 days, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.456), or duration of hospitalization (10.55\u2009\u00b1\u20091.15 vs. 10.15\u2009\u00b1\u20091.45 days, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.092). However, Group B patients underwent an additional second-stage operation, incurring extra costs. Three months after surgery, Group A were judged more positively on the PPPS (specifically receiving higher scores on shaft skin and general appearance) by both the parents (shaft skin: 2.10\u2009\u00b1\u20090.82 vs. 1.93\u2009\u00b1\u20090.62, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.024; general appearance: 2.16\u2009\u00b1\u20090.91 vs. 1.93\u2009\u00b1\u20090.72, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.042) and the surgeon (shaft skin: 2.42\u2009\u00b1\u20090.70 vs. 2.25\u2009\u00b1\u20090.58, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.025; general appearance: 2.38\u2009\u00b1\u20090.69 vs. 2.29\u2009\u00b1\u20090.51, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.041). In most cases, the parents and surgeon were satisfied with the appearance of the genitals after one-stage repair.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The advantages of the novel repair technique include use of a single-stage operation, producing a better appearance at a lower cost.
