Summary
This study tested whether applying estrogen cream to the penis daily for two months before surgery could reduce complications like fistulas (abnormal openings) and wound separation in 244 boys with severe hypospadias, a birth defect where the urethra doesn't form properly. The boys were aged 9 to 36 months. The goal was to see if estrogen improves skin healing and lowers the need for repeat surgeries.
