AI Article Synopsis
- Disorders of sex differentiation lead to differences between a person's physical characteristics (phenotype) and their genetic makeup (genotype), complicating sex determination.
- In lower-income countries, the lack of prenatal diagnostics and poor medical resources makes managing these disorders more challenging.
- This study aims to examine the effectiveness of laparoscopy in addressing sexual ambiguity by reviewing four specific cases and relevant literature.
Article Abstract
Disorders of sex differentiation cause a discrepancy between sex itself (phenotype) and genetic sex (genotype) which poses a problem in sex determination. In lower socioeconomic level countries where prenatal diagnosis is often absent and technical equipments are inadequate, medical and surgical management is difficult. The aim of this study is to clarify the role of laparoscopy in the management of sexual ambiguity through observation of 4 cases and review of the literature.
