Tunica vaginalis free graft for the correction of chordee.
Tunica vaginalis free grafts were used to correct severe chordee not amenable to other surgical maneuvers in 11 boys. Postoperatively, the penis was straight in 10 patients and had some degree of downward angulation in 1 boy. The tunica vaginalis free graft seems to be a useful technique for the correction of severe chordee.
