[Surgical tactics for sex correction of patients with testicular forms of hermaphroditism].

On the basis of own material (43 patients) the author presents surgical tactics towards the testes in patients with testicular forms of hermaphroditism depending on the form of the disease. The authors consider that in the syndrome of dysgenesia of the testes the latter should be removed from the abdominal cavity (oncological danger!): when female sex is chosen--castration, and male--fixation of the testes under abdominal skin is indicated. In case of the syndrome of testicular feminization the testicles should be fixated under the abdominal skin by the authors' method. In case of the syndrome of incomplete masculinization (eunichoid form) the tactics is the same as in testicular feminization; in android form the testicles can be placed into the scrotum. Biopsy of the testes is necessary in all forms of hermaphroditism.
