Abstract:
Many procedures that were once approached exclusively through large abdominal incisions are now accomplished using operative laparoscopic techniques with shorter, less expensive hospital stays and significantly reduced convalescence. This report describes a laparoscopic orchiectomy in a patient with complete androgen insensitivity and discusses the indications for gonadectomy in phenotypic females with an XY karyotype.
