Abstract

Recognition of the buried penis is necessary both to ensure its proper management and to avoid performance of a standard circumcision, which can result in penile degloving. We describe a simple technique of unfurling the prepuce which provides adequate functional and cosmetic replacement for the penile shaft skin.
