    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study details six childhood buried penis cases, emphasizing surgical correction before school age. It highlights previously unacknowledged fibromuscular bands causing penile entrapment and recommends their release for effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Urology
    • Surgical Anatomy
    • Developmental Abnormalities

    Background:

    • Buried penis is a common congenital penile anomaly in children.
    • Existing nomenclature for penile deformities is often confusing.
    • Previous literature has not sufficiently stressed the role of specific anatomical structures in buried penis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clarify the nomenclature of penile deformities.
    • To present findings from six childhood buried penis cases.
    • To emphasize the significance of specific anatomical structures in the etiology and treatment of buried penis.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series review of six pediatric patients with buried penis.
    • Surgical intervention involving freeing the penile shaft from abnormal attachments.

  • Correction of associated skin defects.
  • Detailed anatomical assessment focusing on fibromuscular bands.

    • Main Results:

    • Six cases of buried penis in childhood were successfully treated.
    • The study clarifies nomenclature related to penile deformities.
    • Tethering fibromuscular bands between the penile shaft and abdominal wall were identified as a key factor.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical correction of buried penis should be completed before school age.
    • Freeing the penile shaft from abnormal attachments, including fibromuscular bands, is crucial.
    • Accurate nomenclature and understanding of anatomical variations are important for effective management.
