Purpose of use

Many patient advocacy groups, as well as physicians and researches, have repeatedly stressed the importance of delaying genitoplastic surgery in infants born with ambiguous genitalia until after puberty, unless it is absolutely necessary. The reasons are that scarring and loss of function can result, as well as the certainty that surgery will need to be repeated when the infant reaches maturity. This image clearly shows the type of complications that these groups are trying to protect patients from. Images of this kind are of a very sensitive nature, and call for medical quality photography.

Replaceable?

PAIS is a very rare disorder, affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 births. Images that clearly illustrate complications from feminizing genitoplasty in this population are understandably very rare.
