Y A Kim, J C Kim, J O Kim, M H Kim, Y M Choi
Abstract
Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a disease from total or partial loss of target organ response to androgen despite the normal male karyotype. Prophylactic gonadectomy is usually performed due to increased risk for development of malignancy and possible virilization. Laparoscopy provides a minimally invasive technique for the accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment of these patients. We experienced a case of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome and managed by laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy, so we present it with review of literature.
Key Words: Androgen insensitivity syndrome, Laparoscopic gonadectomy
