Prof. Dr.
Lawson Wilkins, the 'inventor'
of systematic early cosmetic surgeries on children born with 'atypical' sex
anatomies, and name patron of today's North American
'[Lawson Wilkins] Pediatric Endocrine Society ([LW]PES)', contributed a
foreword to the 1958 revised edition of Hugh Hampton Young's 'classic'
intersex genital mutilators' bible:

to Hugh Hampton Young's 1937 'classic' 1st edition, and boasting
of 'corrective procedures and exploratory laparotomies
on large numbers of patients studied in the gynecologic,
urologic and pediatric endocrine clinic at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital.'
The most common 'corrective surgical procedure' until the 1980s was cosmetic amputation of 'enlarged clitorises' on children, as featured in the 1958 edition on p 278-79 (and unchanged also in the 1971 3rd edition on p 340-41)

the phallus with transfixion of the stump. […] C. Final stage of the operation
showing a tiny cosmetic clitoris. The size of this clitoris will vary from case
to case and gives a remarkably normal appearance to the external genitalia
especially after some pubic hair appears.'
