Feminizing genital reconstruction, sigmoid vaginal replacement and anorectoplasty as a one-stage procedure for anorectal atresia associated with ambiguous genitalia.
Anorectal atresia associated with male pseudohermaphroditism presents both diagnostic and surgical challenges. In the past, multiple operations were necessary for feminizing genitoplasty in gender-reassigned children with ambiguous genitalia. We combined the repair of an imperforate anus with a feminizing genitoplasty, including sigmoid vaginal replacement using the posterior sagittal approach in a 3-months-old infant. We conclude that a primary complete reconstruction is advantageous and should be performed in this condition.
