ABSTRACT

A phenomenon known as trapped penis has numerous origins, including injudicious circumcision. Materials and Methods: Surgery for trapped penis with glanular amputation was performed for 5 children. The surgical policy in these cases included complete penile degloving, excising the scarring due to circumcission, fixing the penile skin at the penopubic and penoscrotal angles and reconstructing the penile skin with full thickness skin graft. Results: Improvement was noted in all cases. Conclusion: Surgery for hidden penis using full thickness skin graft achieves very satisfactory aesthetic and functional improvement.
