The surgical approach to patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) has been a challenge and it is still controversial. The aim of this study was to review 10 children with 46,XX CAH who underwent one-stage total urogenital sinus mobilization (TUM). Age at operation ranged from 11 to 78 months (mean= 32) and the follow-up from 15 to 36 months (mean= 26). Cosmetic results were good in 7 patients and satisfactory in 3. After a mean follow-up of 26 months, our results showed that TUM was a good option to repair ambiguous genitalia in children with CAH.
