The International Prostate Symptom Score, uroflowmetry, and 24-hour frequency voiding chart were used to assess voiding, and a self-constructed semistructured questionnaire was used to assess patient-reported outcomes. Transgender men who underwent gGAS without UL between January 2009 and January 2018 were included, and 56 transgender men were approached to complete the patient-reported outcome measurement. The simple statistical analysis combined with the Mann-Whitney U test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Outcomes<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>68 transgender men were included. Median follow-up time was 24 (6\u2013129) months. Uroflowmetry and the International Prostate Symptom Score were completed by 44 transgender men, whereas 13 completed the frequency voiding chart preoperatively and postoperatively, respectively. The patient-reported outcome measurement was completed by 40 of 56 (71%) transgender men.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Postoperative surgical and urological complications occurred in 9 of 68 (13%) and 8 of 68 (12%) patients, respectively. Storage and voiding function remained unchanged. The median quality of life because of urinary symptoms was scored as \u201cpleased.\u201d Sexual functioning and voiding were scored satisfactory and very satisfactory in 18 of 40 (45%) and 21 of 40 (53%) patients, respectively. The number of patients satisfied with the penis and neoscrotum was 25 of 40 (63%) and 26 of 40 (65%), respectively.
