Abstract

Intersex people have biological characteristics of both genders, which causes dilemmas and setbacks throughout their lives, with the decision to undergo early surgery possibly being one of the most difficult and important.Although surgery was recommended as the medical standard, today the possibility of waiting until the child has adequate development to make such a decision is being discussed.A literature review was carried out with the aim of analyzing the role of surgery.It was concluded that more research is needed on this topic and also that more information is needed in society so that these individuals have a better quality of life.
