ABSTRACT
In obese children, the phallus may be camouflaged by excessive deposition of fat at prepubic area. Recently, concealed penis has begun to receive the more attention about possibility of its urologic correction. Between February 1993 and February l994, we treated 5 patients with concealed penis. All patients were prepuberty, their phalli are palpated normal in size and no specific abnormal findings were detected in preoperative evaluation including physical examination, laboratory examinations (CBC, platelet, PT, PTT, liver function test, urinalysis, hormonal assay, chromosomal study). 2 of 5 patients were circumcised and 1 of 5 patient had a history of penoplasty without liposuction. The phallus length were measured 0cm to 0.5cm (mean 0.2cm) preoperatively, 3.5cm to 4.5cm (mean 4.0cm) postoperatively and 3.5cm to 4.2cm (mean 3.9cm) at 3 months after operation. In conclusion, we suggest that penoplasty using liposuction produces a good functional and cosmetic results.
