Background: Obese boys are rapidly increasing in Korea which may result in prevalence of concealed penis. But various operations for concealed penis have been devised yet to need revision. We performed suprapubic lipectomy and transverse incision on penoscrotal junction to report the surgical experiences in concealed penis.
Methods: Total 16 patients underwent operation between August 2003 and september 2008 for concealed penis. All patients were performed transverse incision on penoscrotal junction, pulled out penis to incision site and dissected to symphysis, cut off partially suspensory ligament. Also all patients underwent suprapubic lipopectomy.
Results: Mean age was 7.5 years. The body mass index was over 20 in 14 patients(87%). Mean operation time was 61 minutes and mean followup was 9.5 months. Mean hospitalization was 5.9 days. All patients had not significant complications.
Conclusion: This approach shows good cosmetic results by minimal scarring with penoscrotal junction incision and has enough penile lengthening.
