| Popis: | Chordee or ventral curvature of the penis is commonly associated with and occasionally without hypospadias. The usual recommended treatment is excision of the fibrous tissue that is responsible for the bowing. This results in a proximal retraction of the meatus. With a different concept and explanation of the ventral curvature, we treat this abnormal condition as a shortage of tissue. More than a hundred consecutive cases of chordee with and without hypospadias were treated by skin release and dorsal to ventral transposition of preputial skin as well as hypospadias repair. The whole procedure is simple, planned as a single-stage operation with less morbidity or fewer complications. The meatus is not pushed back proximally, no dissection distal to the meatus is performed, and there is no need for tissue excision. The results were very successful, with no recurrence of the ventral curvature. |
