[Minimal invasive surgical of intersex abnormalities: our experience].

2006 
: The term intersex makes reference to either newborn infants who show ambiguous external genitals or those who, having a normal phenotype, show growth alterations in the puberty. The etiologic diagnostic is oriented by the physical examination, biochemical studies, radiologic, surgical techniques and histological discoveries; that enables us to decide one more accurate sex assignment; the laparoscopy plays an important role, for the direct visualisation of the intra-abdominal gonads, internal genital identification, gonadal biopsy, as well as therapeutic interventions as gonadectomy, orchidopexy and resection of Mullerian remants, replacing totally the laparotomy. The purpose of our job was evaluate the role of the minimal invasive surgical as diagnostic and treatment of the intersex, in nine intersex children treated in our hospital over the last three years.
