Anorectal atresia associated with male pseudohermaphroditism presents both
diagnostic and surgical challenges. In the past, multiple operations were n
ecessary for feminizing genitoplasty in gender-reassigned children with amb
iguous genitalia. We combined the repair of an imperforate anus with a femi
nizing genitoplasty, including sigmoid vaginal replacement using the poster
ior sagittal approach in a 3-months-old infant. We conclude that a primary
complete reconstruction is advantageous and should be performed in this con
dition.
