Buried penis repair: tips and tricks

Jacob Robert Stephen et al. Int Braz J Urol. 2020 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Obesity is increasing in prevalence worldwide and an increasingly commonly encountered condition is adult acquired buried penis (AABP). We review the current management of AABP and relevant literature. Management of AABP requires a combination of genitourinary reconstructive techniques and plastic surgery techniques that are unique to this condition. We offer our experience and tips and tricks for the treatment of AABP.
