Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done on male infants born with:
- Chordee
- Hypospadias with chordee—With this condition, the opening of the urethra (the tube that connects the bladder to the outside of the body) is on the bottom of the penis. Normally, the opening is at the tip of the penis. Hypospadias can make it difficult for the child to urinate while standing. It can also affect sexual function later in life.
The surgery is typically done after six months of age if the penis curvature is greater than 30 degrees. Curvature of the penis greater than 60 degrees can affect sexual function later in life.
After surgery, the penis should function normally.
