Abstract

Objective: Buried penis has long been a problem not only for its causes but also for diversity in the techniques of surgical correction sometimes with unsatisfactory outcomes. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a simple skin anchoring technique. Material and Methods: Buried penis repair patients between 2016 and 2018 were analyzed and those are younger than 1 year old, have accompanying congenital anomalies and a body mass index over 25 were excluded. The technique involves a complete degloving of penile shaft skin followed by two fixation sutures (5/0 polydioxanone) at 5 and 7 directions between Buck’s fascia at the penile base and the skin dermis at the base of the degloved penis and trimming the redundant prepuce per the skin length with resultant circumcision. Results: There were 12 patients whose mean age was 4.67±2.84 years and the mean follow up was 15.83±7.84 months. One (8.3%) patient had dissatisfaction who was lost to follow up but reached out by phone. Rest of the patients had satisfactory cosmetic outcomes. Conclusions: When treating patients with an isolated buried penis; degloving and skin anchoring technique is a simple and functionally and cosmetically satisfactory surgical technique. / Amaç: Gömülü penis sadece meydana getiren sebepler nedeni ile değil aynı zamanda çok farklı tedavi yöntemlerine rağmen başarısız sonuçlar nedeni ile de güncel bir problemdir. Çalışmanın amacı izole gömülü penis cerrahisinde cilt sabitleme tekniğinin sonuçlarını bildirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada 2016-2018 yılları arasında gömülü penis nedeni ile opere edilen yaşı birden büyük, eşlik eden anomalisi olmayan ve vücut kitle indeksi 25’in altında olan olgular irdelendi. Penis tam deglovingi takiben penis kökünde Buck fasyası ile dermis arasına saat 5 ve 7 yönlerinde iki adet fiksasyon dikişi ile sabitlendi ve sünnet yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil edilen 12 hastanın yaş ortalaması 4,67±2,84 yıl ve ortalama takip süresi 15,83±7,84 aydı. Estetik memnuniyetsizlik nedeni ile takipten çıkan 1 (8,3%) olgu dışında bütün hastalar sorunsuzdu. Sonuç: İzole gömülü penis cerrahisinde uygun hasta grubunda cilt asma tekniği basit ve işlevsel ve kozmetik olarak tatminkar bir cerrahi tekniktir.
