Corrective surgery of external sexual organs in female pseudo hermaphrodite dog
2011
Hermaphroditism is a congenital anomaly characterized by the presentation of
sexual characteristics of both sexes in one individual. Hermaphrodites can
occur in every mammal species. Real and pseudo hermaphrodites can be
distinguished. Both ovaries and testes (ovotestes) are presented in real
hermaphrodites, while the conformation of the individual does not correspond
to any sex in particular. Pseudo hermaphrodites are more frequent. Male
pseudo hermaphrodites have testes and female external genital
characteristics, while female pseudo hermaphrodites have ovaries and
rudimentary external genitals reassembling to masculine ones. Corrective
surgical removal of a rudimental penis in a female pseudo hermaphrodite dog
is presented in the paper.
