Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Urology
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Buried penis is a congenital condition characterized by normally developed corporal bodies and glans, but the phallus is concealed within subcutaneous tissue.
  • This appearance results from a deficiency of penile shaft skin and abnormal skin mobility, potentially linked to abnormal dartos muscle attachments during embryogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical technique for the correction of buried penis in children.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and cosmetic outcomes of this new surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A new surgical technique was developed and applied to 12 pediatric patients diagnosed with buried penis.
  • The procedure involves separating abnormal dartos muscle attachments and ensuring adequate skin coverage of the penile shaft.
  • Patients were advised against circumcision due to the risk of exacerbating skin deficiency.

Main Results:

  • The novel surgical technique was successfully performed on all 12 patients.
  • All patients achieved satisfactory cosmetic results following the correction of buried penis.

Conclusions:

  • The described novel technique offers an effective method for correcting buried penis in pediatric patients.
  • This approach leads to favorable cosmetic outcomes, addressing the underlying skin deficiency and abnormal attachments.
