“…Patients suffer from a short penis and obvious phimosis. [3][4][5]9,10 Dysplastic dartos may be the main cause, which can hinder the normal stretch of penis. Redundant suprapubic fat can aggravate this abnormality.…”

Introduction: We described a modified surgical procedure for repairing a concealed penis and compared the efficacy and feasibility of modified repair with traditional repair. Methods: From March 2003 to December 2012, 96 patients with a concealed penis were recruited to undergo penile repair at our centre. Modified repair and traditional repair were performed respectively on 46 and 50 cases. We compared operative time, intraoperative blood loss, cosmetic result of operative scars, postoperative penile retraction, and complications. Results: All operations were completed successfully without serious complications. The mean operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and cosmetic result of the operative scar between the two surgical methods were similar. However, the postoperative penile retraction rate in patients undergoing modified repair decreased significantly than in the traditional repair. Conclusions: Our modified surgical procedure is effective and feasible for a concealed penis. Although extra procedures were needed for the modified repair, the operative time, intraoperative blood loss and cosmetic result of operative scar between the two procedures were similar. Compared with traditional repair, modified repair has better clinical outcomes.

“…Many surgical techniques in small series report satisfactory results in buried penis repair [4,7,9,10,11,13,14,16,17,18,20]. None of those previously described techniques has reached the status of gold standard, highlighting the fact that none of them is quite satisfactory enough to spread it.…”

“…As long as we do not understand the embryological origin and the pathological development of buried penis, our efforts in repairing this anomaly are more or less successful, depending on the applied technique. The published techniques are based on a few principles: redistribution of the abnormal preputial skin [8,10,11,13,20], division of the deep fascia anchoring the penis in the depths [18], release of the dartos tethering cords [4,5,11,18], and eventually anchoring of the penile skin at the penoscrotal junction to the deep fascia [18]. Some authors describe a skin release technique associated with pubis liposuction [15].…”

“…Several techniques to correct penile concealment have been described in small series [1,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. We describe a new technique and compare the results of this new technique with a classical approach we used for several years.…”

“…Cosmetics are the most frequent motive of complaint. Recurring balanitis or voiding difficulties, urine spraying and dribbling can be associated with this condition [4,5]. In infants, parents often report ballooning of phimotic penis if uncircumcised, and paediatricians who are unfamiliar with this condition often call it micropenis.…”

Introduction: Buried penis is a pathology for which several reconstructive techniques are described. We report our technique and its outcome. Patients and Methods: 75 patients underwent repair of buried penis by one surgeon (P.H.) between 1997 and 2011. The first 17 patients (mean age 2.6 years) underwent skin-sparing circumcision. The next 58 patients (47 children, mean age 4.4 years; 11 adults, mean age 38 years) underwent our new technique. Its key point consists in releasing dartos tissue and in anchoring the corpora cavernosa to dartos bundles at the penile base. Outcome was evaluated by reoperation rate, complications and satisfaction according to surgeon/patients/parents. Results: The results of skin-sparing circumcision performed in 17 children at 1 year were reported as good by the surgeon in 62.5% (n = 10) and in 82.4% (n = 14) by patients. Reoperation for recurrence occurred in 29.4% (n = 5) patients. Complications treated conservatively were reported in 35.3% (n = 6) of the children. The new technique was performed in 58 patients (47 children, 11 adults). The results were reported as good by the surgeon in 96.6% (n = 56) and in 91.4% (n = 53) by patients. Reoperation occurred in 4 patients (6.9%). Conclusions: The outcome of the new technique is superior to skin-sparing circumcision regarding complication/reoperation rate and cosmesis according to patients/parents/surgeon.
