Abstract
A clinical case and treatment of a disorder of sex development (46XX, ovotesticular type) who underwent a simultaneous surgery including diagnostic laparoscopy using the single access endoscopic surgery followed by gonadectomy and the single-stage feminizing genitoplasty, is described. Endocrinology service needs for determination of treatment approach in children with disorders of sex development are closely entwined with capabilities of endoscopic surgery, particularly laparoscopy. It’s necessary to quickly determine the gonadal structure due to the high risk of malignancies while examining these patients. The most useful method is the direct visualization of the gonads in the abdominal cavity by laparoscopy. In these cases the single access endoscopic surgery technique reduces the trauma and is welcomed in pediatrics. From our point of view, the preference for the patients with disorders of sex development management with expected gonadal dysgenesis must be given to a single access endoscopic surgery.
