RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OTD) is a rare condition. There's a lack of literature addressing gonad-sparing surgery for OTD. OBJECTIVE: Report the laparoscopic partial gonadectomy technique - gonad-sparing surgery - in an 11-year-old child, 46, XX karyotype with OTD with atypical genitalia. MATERIAL AND METHODS: After a complete diagnostic evaluation the patient underwent feminizing genitoplasty followed by laparoscopic partial gonadectomy (gonad-sparing surgery). The patient was positioned on supine position and Trendelenburg. One 5 mm port was placed on the umbilicus and two 3 mm ports in both flanks. A gonadal wedge biopsy was performed to achieve histopathological confirmation before resection. The testicular component of the ovotestis is clearly identified based on macroscopic aspects, and resected with laparoscopic scissors and limited use of electrocautery. DISCUSSION: This case was classified as bipolar or terminal ovotestis. At the 5-month follow-up, the patient attained menarche. No adverse outcomes have been recorded. Postoperative third year follow-up hormone evaluation revealed a= female pattern characteristic and ultrasound demonstraed uterine volume increase, as well as bilateral ovarian tissue development with follicles. CONCLUSIONS: Gonad-sparing procedure is feasible and desirable whenever possible, especially in 46, XX patients with female sex of rearing, since it preserves the fertility potential. The risk of malignancy must be monitored.

Introdução: As universidades brasileiras enfrentam dificuldades na obtenção do número adequado de corpos para oferecer ensino de qualidade e pesquisa. Em virtude disso, elaboramos um Programa de Doação de Corpos. O objetivo é avaliar a resposta ao programa proposto após seu primeiro ano de implantação. Métodos: Observadas as exigências éticas e legais, o Programa foi elaborado e implementado. Os dados dos doadores foram armazenados em banco de dados digital e a análise realizada sobre o número de doações e perfil sociocultural dos doadores. Resultados: O número de doações em vida por ano aumentou 8,9 vezes, quando comparado ao período prévio ao Programa. Entre os doadores, 59,78% se declararam católicos; 19,56% declararam não possuir religião; 13,04% pertenciam a outras religiões cristãs e 6,6% eram evangélicos. Em relação ao grau de instrução, 53,5% concluíram o ensino superior; 40% possuíam ensino médio e 6,6% alfabetizados. Conclusão: O Programa mostrou-se inicialmente bem-sucedido, devido ao expressivo aumento no número de doações em vida. Os maiores benefícios são o acesso à informação para aqueles que demonstram interesse de doar, além do ganho em qualidade de ensino para a instituição.
Introduction: The Brazilian universities face difficulties in obtaining an adequate number of bodies to provide quality education and research. As a result, we have developed a Body Donation Program. The aim here is to evaluate the response to the proposed program after its first year of implementation. Methods: The program was developed and implemented in compliance with the ethical and legal requirements. The data of the donors were stored in a digital database and an analysis of the number of donations and social and cultural profile of the donors was performed. Results: The number of living donations per year increased 8.9 times compared to the previous period without the program. Among the donors 59.78% declared themselves Catholic, 19.56% reported having no religion, 13.04% belonged to other religions, and 6.6% were Christian evangelicals. Regarding schooling 53.5% completed tertiary education, 40% had secondary education, and 6.6% were just literate. Conclusion: The program was initially successful due to the significant increase in donations in life. The greatest benefits are access to information for those who are willing to donate and the gain in quality of education for the institution.
