Gold standard of PST treatment is surgical repair. Repair technique of penoscrotal transposition included a Glenn–Anderson technique, which is developed by F. Glenn and E. Everett Anderson.{{cite journal | vauthors = Glenn JF, Anderson EE | title = Surgical correction of incomplete penoscrotal transposition | journal = The Journal of Urology | volume = 110 | issue = 5 | pages = 603–5 | date = November 1973 | pmid = 4750909 | doi = 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)60293-3 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Pinke LA, Rathbun SR, Husmann DA, Kramer SA | title = Penoscrotal transposition: review of 53 patients | journal = The Journal of Urology | volume = 166 | issue = 5 | pages = 1865–8 | date = November 2001 | pmid = 11586250 | doi = 10.1016/s0022-5347(05)65708-4 }}
