Buried penis

A buried penis can lead to urinary difficulties, poor hygiene, infection, and inhibition of normal sexual function.

[3] Further research was done by Maurice Campbell in 1951, when he reported on the penis being buried beneath subcutaneous fat of the scrotum, perineum, hypogastrium, and thigh.

[8][9][10][11][12][13] Congenitial buried penis can be corrected surgically in childhood by anchoring the corpora cavernosa to dartos bundles at the penile base.

[16] King IC, Tahir A, Ramanathan C, and Siddiqui H developed a modified treatment algorithm employing a single surgical technique consisting primarily of scar release and the mobilization of the skin of the penis.

[6] An article published in August 2019 by Dr. James J. Elist reported that a procedure involving the insertion of a subcutaneous soft silicone penile implant was successful in reversing the condition of adult acquired buried penis.
