Experiments with genitalia: a commentary

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2011
There has been a recent burst of studies of the function of genitalia, many of which share several important shortcomings.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1972
Early diagnosis and decision about management are most important in determining the sex of rearing and obviating serious psychologic disturbances in the infant born with ambiguous genitalia.

Surgery to the external genitalia

Surgery to the external genitalia is one of the most challenging chapters of reconstructive urology, due to the need to correct complex problems such as hypospadias or epispadias (isolated or associated to exstrophies). Although this specialty has shown a continuous technical advancement there is no consensus as to the most efficient surgical procedure
