title: Laparoscopic gonadectomy in a case of testicular feminization.
abstract: Laparoscopy provides a minimally invasive technique for the accurate diagnosis of intersex problems and may also provide the opportunity for therapeutic management of these patients. Herein, we report our management of a patient with complete testicular feminization, by laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy of fully developed intra-abdominal testes.
