Hypospadias /haɪpoʊˈspeɪdɪəs/ is a birth defect of the urethra in the male that involves an abnormally placed urinary meatus (the opening or male external urethral orifice). Instead of opening at the tip of the glans of the penis a hypospadic urethra opens anywhere along a line (the urethral groove) running from the tip along the underside (ventral aspect) of the shaft to the junction of the penis and scrotum or perineum.
