Objective: To explore a technique for the treatment of severe hypospadias.

Methods: At the first stage, the proximal end of the urethra plate was divided and the chordee was corrected, followed by skin graft at the ventral surface of penis. The urethroplasty was performed at the second stage half a year later.

Results: From Feb. 2004 to Mar. 2005, 17 cases were treated successfully without any complication. After one year of following up, the appearance of glan and the urethral meatus was good and the chordee was corrected completely. The appearance of penis and scrotum was also satisfactory.

Conclusions: The technique is easily performed and very suitable for penile and penoscrotal junction hypospadias with severe chordee.
