The rate of postoperative complications such as urethrocutaneous fistula, urinary retention, meatal stenosis and complete wound dehiscence requiring redo and cosmetic results were compared.Results: The prevalence of post-operative complications and cosmetic results in two studied groups were not significantly different.Conclusions: There is no significant difference between removal of the stent after two days or seven days regarding the incidence of postoperative complications and the cosmetic results.
