Intersex: Surgical and Ethical Aspects.   Document Language : English  Abstract : Intersex is a complex problem not only in its surgical correction but more critical in the decision of the sex assignment. We manage 46 patients with intersex problem over the period from 1985 to 1993. 24 patients (52.17%) with female pseudoohermaphroditism (FPHP), 1 patient (2.17%) with true hermaphroditism (TH) , and 21 patients (45.65%) with male pseudohermaphroditism (MPHP) . We present our experience in the surgical reconstruction of male and female genitalia in concordant with the sex assignment, with particular emphasis on the improved outcome of male genital reconstruction by utilizing the different adjunctive measures to augment the penis, such as supra pubic lipectomy, liposuction and 1M and local administration of the androgenic hormones. Additionally we discussed some ethical aspects concerning sex assignment which is applicable to our community.
