The modified method of surgery was used in 48 patients aged 4 to 15. Urethra plasty was fulfilled in 43 patients. The 2nd step of urethroplasty in 3 patients was complicated by formation of point fistulas caused by suture suppuration in 2 patients and by a failed operation technique in 1 patient. The main advantage of this method is creation of supply of skin necessary for urethroplasty and different disposition of the internal and external sutures which prevents complications in the postoperative period.
