What is Chordee?
A common complication of hypospadias is the development of a chordee. The penis has a downward curvature called a chordee. The presence or absence of hypospadias is irrelevant to this condition. Chordee is a condition of penile congenital disabilities in baby boys in which the shape of your baby’s penis sharply curves upwards or downwards, appearing bent or curved.
It is a congenital condition, so your baby can be born with it. It can be noticed at the time of birth and must be corrected promptly. At ALSA, Dr. Muhammad Mohsin performs penile surgery in baby boys for chordee repair in Pakistan.
What is Chordee?
The exact cause of the chordee is not known. The most common reason is that it occurs as a result of abnormal development of the penis in the womb. Skin defects, penis abnormality, or scar tissue can also lead to the development of chordee even later in life. Chordee can occur as a stand-alone medical condition or in association with hypospadias and penile torsion. Additional techniques for penile surgery in baby boys are used to treat chordee with hypospadias and penile torsion.

Surgery for Penile Torsion
Surgery for penile torsion is needed when the rotation of the penis is more than 90 degrees. Different techniques are used to treat penile torsion. The most common technique is called degloving, in which we perform subsequent repositioning of penile skin to treat the rotation of the penis. Penile torsion surgery is ideally done at the age of 6-18 months.
