A phenomenon known as trapped penis has numerous origins, including injudicious circumcision.
Materials and Methods: Surgery for trapped penis with glanular amputation was performed for 5
children. The surgical policy in these cases included complete penile degloving, excising the scarring
due to circumcision, fixing the penile skin at the penopubic and penoscrotal angles and reconstructing
the penile skin with full thickness skin graft. Results: Improvement was noted in all
cases. Conclusion: Surgery for hidden penis using full thickness skin graft achieves very satisfactory
aesthetic and functional improvement.
