This study introduces a simple preputial skin flap technique for correcting buried penis in boys. The procedure offers effective cosmetic and functional results, with no patients requiring a second operation.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Buried penis is a condition requiring surgical correction.
  • Existing techniques may have limitations in application or outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple and practical preputial skin flap technique for buried penis correction.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of this technique in pediatric patients.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal incision on the ventral penis releases foreskin tightness, creating a diamond-shaped defect.
  • Pedicled preputial flaps are created and rotated to cover the defect, ensuring adequate penile skin coverage.
  • The technique was applied to 12 boys aged 3-12 years, with a minimum follow-up of 3 months.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The preputial flap technique successfully corrected buried penis in all 12 pediatric patients.
  • Common side effects included temporary edema and swelling of the flaps.
  • No patients required revision surgery or experienced significant complications.

Conclusions:

  • The preputial skin flap technique is a simple, practical, and effective method for correcting buried penis.
  • This approach provides good cosmetic and functional results, applicable to most pediatric cases.
  • The technique demonstrates a low complication rate and eliminates the need for secondary operations.
