The bispectral index (BIS) monitor is a quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) device that is widely used to assess the hypnotic component of anaesthesia, especially when neuromuscular blocking drugs are used. If necessary, it may be necessary to increase or decrease MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) in the testosterone group according to the BIS monitoring value.

in addition to monitoring the MAC and vital values in order to monitor the depth of anesthesia, BIS monitoring values, which are a special EEG parameter and can be continuously monitored throughout the surgery, also provide better quality results. The use of the BIS monitor reduces the incidence of awareness under anesthesia. The fact that the procedure is non-invasive is an advantage in terms of use.

Hypospadias often requires surgical intervention. Before this surgical intervention, pediatric surgeons perform hormone (testosterone) treatment (IM) in patients with micropenis to temporarily enlarge the penis size, which affects the success of the surgery. It is usually applied intramuscularly one week before the surgery in a pediatric surgery clinic.

Some studies have reported that anesthetic requirements change with testosterone changes (to provide sufficient depth of anesthesia with changes in the depth of anesthesia).
