the surgical correction of a buried penis depends on the abnormality. however marked improvement can be achieved in almost all patients. the correction is based on re-establishing the connection of the erectile chambers of the penis to the penile skin along with the removal of excess pubic fat and/or skin. in severe cases of buried penis in which the patient has inadequate penis skin resulting from an overly aggressive circumcision or chronic inflammation then the penis must be freed and covered with a skin graft. the surgery is usually performed as an outpatient unless a skin graft is needed. the improvement in penile and pubic appearance can be dramatic. equally impressive is the patient’s positive personality and self-esteem improvement leading to more self-confidence and social interaction.
