【 摘 要 】

The debate over the timing of surgical repair in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is intense and was in part started by patient advocacy groups largely composed of dissatisfied adults operated in childhood. Their influence has been beneficial to make surgeons reconsider gender reassignment in certain cases of DSD and other genital malformations such as penile agenesis and cloacal exstrophy. Some authors have proposed a ban on all no-medically necessary surgery in infants (1).
