ABSTRACT
Ten patients with hypospadias were included in this study. The type of hypospadias and the degree of penile bowing were described. The location and the extent of the fibrotic tissue representing the chordee were defined in relation to the corpus spongiosum, the hypospadic meatus, and the urethral plate. A common finding among all ten patients was that the location of the fibrosis extended from the area proximal to the meatus to the proximal edge of the glans penis. Splaying of the fibrotic tissue resulting in its fan-shaped formation, as classically described in most textbooks, was not noted. The relationship of the fibrotic tissue to the corpus spongiosum, to the urethral meatus, and to the urethral plate was found to be inconsistent.
