Studies reporting BCR rates after TTh in men who underwent RP were included. Data were pooled using a random\u2010effects model. Meta\u2010regression explored the associations with age, Gleason score, follow\u2010up, and preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 398 patients (mean age: 63.9 years; mean follow\u2010up: 29.6 months). Overall, the pooled BCR rate in TTh\u2010treated patients was 3.5% (95% CI: 1.5\u20138.5). No significant association was found between BCR and age, Gleason score, or follow\u2010up duration. In studies with untreated controls, TTh was associated with a significantly lower BCR risk. Limited data suggested improvements in erectile function and quality of life. Funnel plot analysis indicated no publication bias.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TTh after RP appears to be associated with a limited risk of BCR in hypogonadal men with PCa. However, the absence of randomized controlled trials and incomplete reporting of key clinical variables preclude definitive conclusions. Larger, well\u2010designed prospective studies are warranted to confirm these findings and clarify the long\u2010term safety profile of the use of testosterone replacement therapy in this
