Doctors at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College of the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) have successfully carried out a corrective surgery on a 20-year-old woman, diagnosed with a rare physical disorder of having male organs instead of uterus and ovaries.

'It is described as the partial androgen insensitivity syndrome where the clitoris is large or, alternatively, the penis is small and hypospadic. We began the operation Saturday afternoon and it carried on till late night,' Dr. Arshad Hafeez Khan, chairman of the college's plastic surgery department, told IANS over phone.
