Long-term Effects of Pre-operative Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone on Glans Width in Boys With Hypospadias

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This study compares topical testosterone versus dihydrotestosterone for pre-operative glans augmentation in hypospadias repair, evaluating both immediate and sustained effects on glans width. It also examines surgical complication rates when urethroplasty is delayed beyond three months after completing hormonal treatment.

Key takeaways

  • Small glans width increases risk of urethroplasty complications in hypospadias repair
  • Pre-operative topical androgens (testosterone/DHT) can increase glans width before surgery
  • Study compares short-term vs long-term effects of two different androgen protocols on glans dimensions
  • Surgical delay >3 months post-hormonal treatment may impact complication rates
