 Hi, my name is Dr. Radhakrishnan, I am a pediatric surgeon and a pediatric urologist and I work at the Manipal Hospital in Bangalore. The condition of hypospedias is a spectrum, 80% of hypospedias are of the mild variety which means that the opening is present just below where the normal opening should be. However, in 20% of cases the opening can be either on the shaft of the penis or even lower down in the scrotum. These children would be considered to have a serious variety of hypospedias and this is also usually associated with a bend in the penis and this is called a cordy.
