Laparoscopic bilateral orchiectomy for testicular feminization syndrome.
A 13-year-old female patient with complete androgen insensitivity (testicular feminization syndrome) had an excision of bilateral intra-abdominal testicles via the laparoscopic approach. The patient had a very smooth, fast recovery from her surgery. The laparoscopic approach should be considered for most patients in need of surgical removal of undescended or intra-abdominal testes.
