Controversies on Timing of Sex Assignment and Surgery in Individuals With Disorders of Sex Development: A Perspective

Abstract: Appropriate management of disorders of sex development (DSD) has been a matter of discussion since the first guidelines were published in the 1950s. In the last decade, with the advent of the 2006 consensus, the classical methods, especially regarding timing of surgery and sex of rearing, are being questioned. In our culture, parents of DSD newborns usually want their children to undergo genital surgery as soon as possible after sexual assignment, as surgery helps them to confirm the assigned sex.

“…Formerly, cancer risk was a decisive argument for choosing a female sex of rearing in poorly virilized patients with Müllerian organs, because the decision involved early bilateral gonadectomy. Today, some human rights activists consider that genitoplasty of infants should be outlawed [see (43)(44)(45)], with the result that dysgenetic testes may be left in situ until the child reaches prepuberty (46), a particularly dangerous age for the onset of germ cell malignancy (47).…”

“…In many cases in most countries, genital surgery has been conducted on newborns with DSD, such that genital sex matches chromosomal sex, and gonads are often removed due to the risk of cancer [ 72 , 73 ]. However, this has become a very controversial practice [ 74 ]. The decision to conduct genital surgery and gender assignment at birth is fraught with bioethical concerns centered around the patient’s rights to decide their own genital sex and gender identity [ 75 , 76 ].…”

“…А вот доказательств преимущества хирургического лечения подростков и взрослых действительно нет, равно как нет и данных относительно последствий отсутствия такового у девочек. Это позволяет говорить о том, что запрет на проведение какого-либо лечения, направленного на коррекцию анатомических аномалий у детей с интерсексом, представляет собой пример социального эксперимента [5,46,51], последствия которого непредсказуемы.…”

“…Неоднократно было показано, что большинство женщин и/или девочек-подростков, оперированных в детском возрасте, считали, что хирургическое лечение у них проведено вовремя или что его следует проводить даже раньше, в младенчестве [46,52]. Аналогичное мнение высказывали и абсолютное большинство родителей девочек с ВГН [51,53]. Здесь приведены лишь недавние работы, данные которых полностью согласуются с полученными ранее.…”
