Abstract:
A concealed penis is a normally developed penis that becomes camouflaged by the suprapubic fat pad. This anomally can be congenital or iatrogenic following circumcision. A special variety of this disease is a retractile concealed penis with dysgenetic band of dartos fascia which produce recurrence not infrequently after operative correction by conventional method. We herein report 2 cases of concealed penis of which one case was a recurrent one and another was a case of severe degree with concomittent obesity where a new method for operative correction was applied.
