Overview
Different procedures may be necessary in cases with severe outflow tract obstruction, patients with cryptorchidism, genitourinary, or severe skeletal deformity.
Surgical Theraby
For those who are disturbed by the appearance of lentigines, Cryosurgery may be beneficial. Due to the large number of lentigines this may prove time consuming.
In case of cardiac anomalies at diagnosis, a periodic assessment should be performed as recommended by the cardiologist. Mild pulmonary valve stenosis has a good prognosis, while severe valvular dysplasia may recommend valvulotomy or valvulectomy.[1]
Treatment of cryptorchidism in males is usually the same as in the general population.
