Hormone cream could reduce complications in common birth defect surgery

NCT ID NCT01370798

Summary

This study tested whether applying an estrogen cream to the penis for two months before surgery could help reduce healing complications in boys with severe hypospadias. Researchers compared the estrogen cream against a placebo cream in 244 boys aged 9-36 months who needed surgical repair. The goal was to see if the estrogen treatment would lead to fewer problems like fistulas or wound separation after surgery.
