Abstract
Background: Penile curvature is caused by decreased elasticity of one or more fascial layers, leading to the shortening of one of the corpus cavernosum. The most common cause of penile curvature is chordee, but ventral curvature can also be found in men without hypospadias. The incidence of the ventral type is found to be higher than the other types at around 70-80%. Histopathology of inflammatory cells in the urethral plate (UP) and deep chordee (DC) is often found in hypospadias patients although the association with ventral penile curvature is unknown. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted by making one observation in each sample to determine the condition of the incidence of increased inflammation with ventral penile curvature. This study was conducted in Denpasar City Bali from May 2021 – May 2022 with the target of all hypospadias patients aged 0-18 years. Data analysis was performed with the help of SPSS for bivariate tests. Results: This study involved 100 respondents with hypospadias who had a mean age of 6.4 ± 3.8 years, the most curvature degree was severe > 300 which was 62%, and mild ≤ 300 as much as 36%. The degree of inflammation was found to be mild 89% and moderate 11%. Bivariate analysis using chi-square found no statistically significant between the degree of inflammation and the degree of penile ventral curvature in hypospadias patients (r=0.144; p=0.154). Conclusion: No correlation between the degree of inflammation of the tunica dartos chordee and the degree of ventral curvature of the penis in hypospadias patients.
