[Continued evaluation of results of surgical management of female congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Report on 48 cases (author's transl)].

In a continued surgical and medical evaluation of the surgical management of female congenital adrenal hyperplasia, 48 girls were studied. Clitoroplasty (relocation and recession) was considered satisfactory in 22 out of 26 children of pubertal age. Vaginoplasty results were rated as excellent in 8 cases, and fair in 19 cases. Six patients indicated to have normal sexual intercourse. However a second surgical procedure will be necessary in 16 cases (30%) during or at the end of their puberty. These cases are among the more severely masculinized with a vaginal opening located at the upper part of the urethra. A prolonged follow-up is necessary in order to perform an adequate evaluation of these procedures, some of which have to be repeated at the age of adolescence.
