Ghanem H, et al. – The authors aimed to reduce the amount of the suprapubic fat by liposuction to reveal the buried penis and assess the results, patient satisfaction, and possible complications. They identified an acquired adult buried penis as a correctable problem. They recommend to differentiate simple buried penis due to excess fat at the mons pubis from other complex cases that may require combined techniques to achieve good results with minor complications. Results suggest that suprapubic liposuction is a very safe and successful procedure with minor or no complications if performed meticulously.

Methods

• On ten men who were attending the outpatient clinic of Andrology complaining of small–sized penis, the procedure was performed.
• The authors measured, pre–, immediate (on table) postoperative and 3 months postoperative skin to tip flaccid and stretched penile lengths..
• Using the five–point Likert scale, they assessed the patient satisfaction.

Results

• Statistically significant increase between the pre– and postoperative flaccid and stretched penile lengths in the patients with a p value <0.001 in both was observed.
