] that outlines the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of a new penile curvature (PC)
method. In addition, this is the first study to evaluate the inter-rater reliability
of intraoperative penile measurement using a goniometer.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment

- PreviewThe degree of chordee associated with hypospadias impacts operative management. Unfortunately, poor inter-observer reliability in assessing chordee by multiple methods in vitro has been demonstrated. This variability may be related to the fact that chordee is not a discrete angle, but rather an arc-like curvature similar to that of a banana. On an attempt to improve this variability, we assessed the inter-rater reliability of a novel method of chordee measurement and compared it to measurements with a goniometer both in vitro and in vivo.
