chordee

[kôr′dē, kôr′dā]

Etymology: Gk, chorde, cord

a congenital defect of the genitourinary tract resulting in a ventral curvature of the penis, caused by presence of a fibrous band of tissue instead of normal skin along the corpus spongiosum. The condition is often associated with hypospadias and is surgically corrected in early childhood. The goals of surgery are to improve the appearance of the genitalia cosmetically for psychologic reasons, to construct an organ that allows the boy to void in a standing position, and to produce a sexually adequate organ.
