Article Synopsis
- Genital ambiguity is common in disorders of sex development (DSD), and the 2006 Chicago Consensus recommends feminizing genitoplasty for severe cases, utilizing improved surgical techniques like mobilization of the urogenital sinus (MUS), despite concerns about urinary incontinence.
- This study retrospectively evaluates the outcomes of feminizing genitoplasty with total MUS in eight DSD patients, focusing on complication rates, urinary incontinence, and cosmetic satisfaction from both surgeons and families.
- Results show no cases of urinary incontinence post-surgery, high satisfaction with aesthetic outcomes, and no need for additional procedures, indicating total MUS is a safe and effective surgical option.
