Popis: Background: In our institution, genital Gender-Affirming Surgery (gGAS;phalloplasty or metoidioplasty) in transgender men is offered with or without Urethral Lengthening (UL). Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional and retrospective study was to assess the effect of gGAS with or without UL on several Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs), and to identify predictors of overall patient satisfaction at follow-up. Methods: A self-constructed Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) was sent to transgender men who were ≥1 year after gGAS. The survey comprises 25 questions divided into 5 domains: type of surgery, satisfaction with the appearance and functionality, quality of life, feelings of masculinity, and sexuality. Outcomes: Answers to the survey were compared between groups, and a linear regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of overall patient satisfaction. Results: Of 154 eligible transgender men, the PROM was sent to 118 (77%) willing to participate, and 102 (66%) completed the survey. The majority previously underwent phalloplasty (n = 74;73%) compared to metoidioplasty (n = 28;27%). Urethral Lengthening was performed in 56/102 (55%) participants, 51/74 (69%) in phalloplasty, 5/28 (18%) in metoidioplasty. The mean number of complications and reoperations was significantly higher in the UL group (2.7vs1 and 1.6vs0.4 respectively, both P
