ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To search for a simple and effective surgical approach to the management of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We used Devine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum in the treatment of 68 cases of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis. The patients were aged 3 -13 (mean 6.5) years, 30 with moderate and 38 with severe pediatric concealed penis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>This strategy achieved good near- and long-term effects and satisfactory appearance of the penis, which was similar to that of circumcision. At 3 months after surgery, the penile length was 3 - 5.2 cm, averaging (2.35 +/- 0.35) cm.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Devine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum is a simple and effective surgical option for moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children.</p>
