نقش تستوسترون داخل عضلانی قبل از عمل در بهبود نتایج عملکردی و زیبایی پس از ترمیم هیپوسپادیا: یک مطالعه به صورت تصادفی آیندهنگر

Two systematic reviews on the role of preoperative testosterone failed to reach any conclusion. One described a glans width <14 mm as a risk factor for urethral complications after hypospadias repair but another did not support this. Our findings reveal that preoperative testosterone significantly increases the glans width thereby reducing the complications and requirement for reoperation. It also improves the cosmetic outcomes and parental satisfaction.Table.
