Abstract

In the most severe form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in females, the vagina is located above the level of the external urethral sphincter. Sixteen of these patients had reconstruction with a pull-through technique described previously. Nine are now adults; six have coitus and three do not. Five are young and sexually immature. Two have been lost to follow-up.
