We present the case of a 29-year-old female who had atypical genitalia due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia secondary to 21-hydroxylase deficiency who underwent reconstructive surgery. We performed a vaginoscopy and intraoperative ultrasound to facilitate the procedure as we consider that this approach could reduce the risk of complications.
