Overview

Reconstructive surgery and surgical adrenalectomy are the surgical procedures used for patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Reconstructive gynecologic surgery may be used in adolescents or adults, including clitoroplasty and vaginoplasty. Surgical adrenalectomy can be done in some cases, if there is no response to medical therapy.
