Top ten surgical tricks-surgical management of adult acquired buried penis.

Adult acquired buried penis is an increasingly prevalent condition, commonly associated with obesity, in which a normally sized penis becomes concealed by suprapubic adipose tissue. It has a negative impact on quality of life, causing urinary and sexual dysfunction, and recurrent infections. Chronic inflammation may further lead to urethral stricture, lichen sclerosus, and penile malignancy. Surgical repair is the definitive treatment, but it requires a structured reconstructive approach. This article describes ten key principles to optimize outcomes in the surgical repair of an adult acquired buried penis. These include appropriate patient selection and preoperative optimization, accurate standing-position marking, a wide transverse incision, and dissection to the aponeurosis with preservation of the spermatic cords. Penile skin must be carefully assessed to determine the need for grafts or scrotal flaps. Restoration of the penopubic angle using anchoring sutures is essential to prevent recurrence, while adjunctive lipectomy or liposuction may improve contour. Proper drainage, layered wound closure, and meticulous postoperative care are critical to minimize complications. These principles provide a practical framework for reconstructive urologists performing adult acquired buried penis repair, facilitating functional recovery, improved aesthetic outcomes, and sustained improvement in patient quality of life.
