AI Article Synopsis
- An infant with hypospadias and absent palpable gonads was diagnosed with persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) using various medical assessments.
- A robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed to address the infant's condition, which included a hysterectomy, gonadal biopsy, and orchiopexies.
- This case is noteworthy as it represents only the second documented instance of managing PMDS using a robot-assisted laparoscopic technique.
Article Abstract
An infant born with hypospadias and no palpable gonads was diagnosed with persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) based on history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and radiologic imaging. A robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy, right gonadal biopsy, and bilateral orchiopexies were performed without incident. Final pathology confirmed the diagnosis of PMDS. To our knowledge, this is only the second report of PMDS managed through a robot-assisted laparoscopic approach.
