| description | Introduction:
Buried penis is a rare pathology related to the reduction of penile length. It is described with a higher incidence in children, but it also affects adults. This population is mainly associated with obesity and fat accumulation in the suprapubic region, being considered a pathology that is difficult to manage and treat. Surgical intervention is the basis of treatment, and the main objective is the return of urinary and sexual function. Multiple surgical techniques are described for reconstruction in patients with buried penis and must be adapted to the characteristics presented by the patient.
Case Report:
This article reports the surgical technique of dermolipectomy associated with the fixation of the base of the penis in pubic symphysis and a partial skin graft to approach a patient with a buried penis.
Conclusion:
The presented technique showed good functional postoperative results due to clinical improvement of the patients’ initial complaints and aesthetic ones, verbalized by the patient and the legal guardian due to the patient’s low cognitive level. |
