    Surgical correction for female infants with adrenogenital syndrome aims to feminize genitalia. The procedure reconstructs the clitoris, creates a normal introitus, and performs vaginoplasty, prioritizing sensation and function.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Endocrinology
    • Genitourinary Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Adrenogenital syndrome (AGS) in female infants causes virilization, necessitating surgical intervention.
    • Existing surgical approaches aim to address clitoral and vaginal abnormalities while preserving function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe an operative approach for genitoplasty in female infants with adrenogenital syndrome.
    • To detail surgical goals including clitoral reconstruction, introitus creation, and vaginoplasty.
    • To outline timing considerations for vaginoplasty based on vaginal anatomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical technique involves glans preservation with innervation for a sensitive clitoris.
    • Labia minora are fashioned from phallic skin and foreskin to create a normal-appearing introitus.

  • Vaginoplasty is performed to establish an adequate vaginal opening onto the perineum.

    • Main Results:

    • The described surgical approach aims for optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes.
    • The entire repair can often be completed before 6 months of age.
    • Delayed vaginoplasty is recommended for cases with high-level vaginal confluence with the urogenital sinus.

    Conclusions:

    • This operative strategy addresses the complex reconstructive needs in female infants with adrenogenital syndrome.
    • The described technique prioritizes the creation of a functional and aesthetically appropriate genitalia.
    • Careful consideration of vaginal anatomy guides the timing of vaginoplasty for improved outcomes.
