Abstract
Introduction

The treatment of a hidden penis consists of completely and effectively exteriorizing the penile shaft from a functional and aesthetic point of view.

Patients and methods

Over a period of 15 months (02/2008–05/2009), we treated 7 children (mean age 4.6 years) with hidden penis (five had a buried penis, one had a webbed penis and another a trapped penis) using the Borsellino reconstruction technique modified with an “S” dorsal incision. We performed a pubic lipectomy in one patient through the same incision. Surgical indication was for aesthetic reasons in all the cases, secondary phimosis in four, repeated balanitis in one and pain in another.

Results

Hospital stay was 24h. With a short-term follow-up (1–12 months), we detected the following complications: partial recurrence, post-surgical lymphedema and hypertrophic scarring, each of them in one case. Patients and parents were satisfied with the result.

Conclusions

The technique that we present achieves good cosmetic results and has few immediate complications. The substitution of the two dorsal incisions with one “S” incision allows simultaneous lipectomy without the need for another incision.

Resumen
Introducción

El tratamiento del pene oculto consiste en llevar a cabo una exteriorización completa del cuerpo del pene, que resulte efectiva desde el punto de vista funcional y estético.

Pacientes y métodos

A lo largo de 15 meses (febrero de 2008 a mayo de 2009) hemos tratado 7 niños (edad media: 4,6 años) con pene oculto (5 con pene enterrado, uno palmeado y otro atrapado) con la reconstrucción de Borsellino modificada mediante incisión en «S» en la parte dorsal. En un paciente se realizó lipectomía púbica a través de la misma incisión. La indicación quirúrgica fue por motivos estéticos en todos los casos, fimosis secundaria en 4, balanitis de repetición en uno y dolor en otro.

Resultados

La estancia hospitalaria fue de 24 horas. Con un seguimiento a corto plazo (1–12 meses) las complicaciones detectadas fueron: recidiva parcial, linfedema posquirúrgico y cicatriz hipertrófica, cada una de ellas en un caso. Pacientes y padres se encuentran satisfechos con el resultado.

Conclusiones

La técnica que presentamos consigue un buen resultado cosmético y presenta pocas complicaciones inmediatas. La sustitución de las dos incisiones dorsales por una sola en «S» permite lipectomía simultánea sin nueva incisión.
