Abstract

Laparoscopic gonadectomy was performed on a patient with complete androgen insensitivity (testicular feminization syndrome). In the case presented here, although the gonads were free, the omentum which was adhering to the right inguinal ring, possibly as a result of previous inguinal hernia repair, obscured the right gonad. The left gonad was located behind the sigmoid colon. We present our laparoscopic experience in managing this case of testicular feminization syndrome.
