Overview
Different procedures may be necessary in cases with severe outflow tract obstruction, patients with cryptorchidism, genitourinary, or severe skeletal deformity.
SurgicalTheraby
- 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.
