ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To search for a simple and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of the buried penis in children.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We designed a new surgical procedure for the treatment of the buried penis, making a "V" incision in the venter of the radix penis, solving the superficial and deep fascia and the abnormal attachment of the dartos muscle, and fixing the left and right side of the radix penis respectively to 1 and 11 o'clock points in the fascia of the pubis nodus in the knee-chest position. A total of 38 children with the buried penis underwent the newly designed procedure and were followed up for 2-6 months.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the patients were discharged with desirable cosmetic appearance of the penis and completely revealed penile shafts. Follow-up showed satisfactory penile shape in 35 cases (92.11%), slightly buried penis in 2 and cicatricial constriction of the ostium praeputiale in 1.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The newly designed surgical procedure of solution and fixation of the penile venter is simple and effective for the treatment of the buried penis in children and well worthy to be introduced into clinical practice.</p>
