Surgical approach to male pseudohermaphroditism.
Male pseudohermaphroditism (MPH) is defined as incomplete masculinization in patients with normal male karyotype (XY) and testicular histology. MPH encompasses a spectrum of female to male phenotypes and presents both diagnostic and technical challenges to the surgeon. Once gender is assigned, based on phenotype, adequacy of the phallus, and other considerations, the surgeon can plan appropriate genital reconstruction.
