Dynamic versus static stitch, as a simple treatment for buried penis

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to correct cases with buried penis using a simple one-step procedure and to compare two techniques for treating these patients, using either Bucks fascia stitch [dynamic] or periosteal stitch [static]. Forty patients of buried penis were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups Group A, 27 patients, in whom the dynamic stitch was used and group B, in whom the static stitch was used. All results were statistically significant of the dynamic stitch technique, denoting its superiority, using delayed absorbable suture material. The procedure was better in the uncircumcised cases
