We hypothesize that testosterone administration prior to distal hypospadias repair with urethroplasty significantly decreases postoperative complications. Materials and Methods: We queried our hypospadias database for primary distal hypospadias repairs with urethroplasty from 2015 to 2021. Patients undergoing repair without urethroplasty were excluded. We collected information on patient age, procedure type, testosterone administration status, initial visit and intraoperative glans width, urethroplasty length, and postoperative complications. To determine the role of testosterone administration on incidence of complications, a logistic regression adjusting for initial visit glans width, urethroplasty length, and age was performed. Results: A total of 368 patients underwent distal hypospadias repair with urethroplasty. One hundred thirty-three patients received testosterone and 235 did not. Initial visit glans width was significantly larger in the no-testosterone vs testosterone group (14.5 mm vs 13.1 mm, P = .001). Testosterone patients had significantly larger glans width at the time of surgery (17.1 mm vs 14.6 mm [no-testosterone group], P = .001). On multivariable logistic regression analysis after controlling for age at surgery, preoperative glans width, testosterone status, and urethroplasty length, testosterone administration did show significant association with reduced odds of postoperative complications (OR 0.4, P = .039). Conclusions: This retrospective review of patients shows that on multivariable analysis there is significant association between testosterone administration and decreased incidence of complications in patients undergoing distal hypospadias repair with urethroplasty. Future studies on testosterone administration should focus on specific cohorts of patients with hypospadias as benefits of testosterone may be more evident in some subgroups than others.
