Combined endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery for staged repair of complex cloacal anomalies: A case series
The CELS technique may help reduce complications from open surgery, allows time for structural development, and minimizes tissue dissection and trauma at an early age. Staged repair for complex cloaca can be safely considered and allow for delay of vaginal reconstruction with minimal adverse short-term outcomes and impact on subsequent procedures.
