Cryptorchism and meatal stenosis were the most common associated anomalies. 4. Interval from chordectomy to modified Denis-Browne urethroplasty took 6 months to 1 year in 6 cases (75%), with the average of 10 months 5. We performed trocar cystostomy as urinary diversion in all cases. 6. 3-layer longitudinal monofilament subcuticular suture was used in all cases. 7.
