	Chordee
		Chordee is a downward (ventral) curvature of the penis, due to a strand of connective tissue stretched like a cord between the meatus (urethral opening) and glans, creating the "bowstring" effect.
		It is often associated with hypospadius, which is a congenital condition where the urethral opening is not at the tip of the penis, but in another location along the ventrum of the shaft.
		Chordee can be corrected surgically, but if it is not causing any social or physical problems, you probably do not need to do anything about it.

	Intersex Surgery: Chordee Release
		Chordee release refers to the cutting of the ventral penile skin and connective tissue surrounding it to free and straighten the penis.
		For mild chordee where visible is a well-formed penis bent downward by subcutaneous connective tissue may be repaired by releasing some of the inelastic connective tissue on the ventral side of the shaft.
		In more severe cases of chordee it is often accompanied by a hypospadias and sometimes by severe under virilization (a perineal “pseudovaginal pouch” and split (bifid) in the scrotum with an undersized penis).

		Chordee surgery is quite complex, as the urethra may be too short and their may be parts of the penis that do not stretch.
		After correction of chordee, or in those boys with distal hypospadias that do not have chordee, the neo-urethra is completed to the tip of the penis, either through the use of existing redundant penile skin, usually as a flap, or with skin taken from another part of the body, as a graft.
		Chordee is a condition in which the penis The penis (plural penises or penes) or phallus is the external male copulatory organ, and, in mammals, the external male organ of urination.

	Hypospadias
		Bending of the penis on erection may be associated with this and is known as chordee.
		When the urethral opening is just slightly out of position and when there is no chordee, surgical correction may not be necessary, although in occasional patients there is a significant cosmetic reason for repair.
		Chordee is evaluated with an artificial erection in which the erectile bodies are inflated with a saline solution.

		Chordee is a condition in which the penis curves downward (that is, in a ventral direction).
		Severe degrees of chordee are usually associated with hypospadias, but mild degrees of curvature may occur in many otherwise normal males.
		The principal treatment of chordee is surgery in infancy, usually by a pediatric urologist.

		Chordee correction was required in 48 cases and it was achieved by the standard technique of circumcoronal incision extending proximally to external urethral meatus and then going around it.
		In the present study, chordee correction was carried out by excising the fibrous bands around urethral plate while preserving the urethral plate in as many as 20 cases, but in another 28 cases urethral plate had to be sacrificed to achieve full release of chordee.
		Chordee correction where indicated can be effectively and adequately carried out by excising the fibrous bands around urethral plate without sacrificing the urethral plate and this healthy tissue should be used as dorsal layer to reconstruct neourethra by suturing onlay prepucial flap to the urethral plate.

	Case Based Pediatrics Chapter
		Penile chordee (ventral bending of the penile shaft) is often associated with hypospadias, and may be due to tethering or dysplasia of the ventral penile shaft skin (2).
		First degree with the meatus between the glans and the distal shaft; second degree with the meatus between the midshaft and the proximal shaft; and the third degree with the meatus being penoscrotal, scrotal or perineal.
		Ventral penile chordee must be corrected first, as the urethral meatus may move proximally as the penis is straightened.

	Chordee
		Chordee is a congenital downward curvature of the penis due to a strand of connective tissue between the urethral opening and the glands.
		Chordee can be caused by a short urethra, fibrous tissues connecting the urethral opening, or both.
		If the chordee is the result of skin tethering, the doctor may shorten the dorsal foreskin and remove any fibrous tissue that is causing the curvature.

		More severe chordees with ventral curvature of the penis, are caused by the penile skin on the ventral side, either because it is not elastic enough, or that it is abnormally short.
		If his chordee is severe to the degree that he cannot penetrate and have intercourse causing a serious barrier to marriage, then this defect prevents him from having children.
		A severe chordee that does not allow him to have intercourse is not a disqualifying defect even if it was caused by an accident.
