The term “orthoplasty” has multiple meanings depending on the medical field.

Orthoplasty, specifically in the context of pediatric urology, is a surgical technique used to correct penile curvature, often a component of congenital conditions like hypospadias and epispadias.

Penile curvature can cause difficulties with urination, sexual function, and can also be a source of psychological distress.

Orthoplasty, particularly with techniques such as dermal grafting, is recognised for delivering excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes with a low complication rate.
