Abstract
The ambiguous genital structures of Male Pseudo-hermaphrodites may be reconstructed either in a masculinizing or feminizing manner. This decision is made attempting to maximize body image and function. Early assignment of an appropriate sex of rearing is important. Feminizing genitoplasty for Male Pseudo-hermaphroditism may be done at any age, once accurate diagnosis of the underlying condition is reached. Clitoroplasty, labioplasty, and exteriorization vaginoplasty may be done simultaneously in selected cases where an adequate vagina is already present, with excellent functional and cosmetic results anticipated.Entities:
