Objective: To present our treatment experience of buried penis, which has no consensus therapeutic technique for all cases of buried penis, by using a new technique for the repair of this condition, in which the approach is through the ventral penile root.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 153 patients (median age: 6.5 years) who underwent repair of a buried penis between March 2005 and March 2013. The technique involves the creation of a wedge-shaped cut of the ventral penile skin, followed by fixation of the subcutaneous penile skin at the base of the degloved penis to the Buck fascia at the 2- and 10-o'clock positions. The ventral outer preputial skin is split down the midline, and the dorsal inner preputial skin is cut with oblique incision.
Results: All patients were followed for an average of 12 months after repair. Other than 2 cases (1.3%) of trapped penis with a ring of scar tissue, which required subsequent excision, there were no complications and the cosmetic appearance was satisfactory.
Conclusion: The described ventral penile approach is a simple and effective procedure with good cosmetic outcomes and few complications.

Gender-affirming surgery is essential for transgender individuals seeking alignment between their physical appearance and gender identity. Metoidioplasty is a masculinizing option for those assigned female at birth and often includes vaginectomy, urethral lengthening, scrotoplasty, creation of a neophallus, and testicular prostheses, typically implanted during a second-stage procedure. We describe a 39-year-old transgender man who initially underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy, metoidioplasty, and tubularized plate urethral lengthening 19 months earlier.

Background: Adult acquired buried penis (ABP) is a heterogenous condition and surgical treatment typically includes several steps. Additionally, there is no consensus on which current procedural terminology (CPT) codes to utilize for these steps. Our objective is to characterize the variability in CPT codes reported for ABP surgeries.

Objective: To examine current opioid prescribing and determine what clinical factors were associated with use of opioids after urologic surgery after a previous study from our institution found that education regarding opioid prescribing practices significantly decreased post-operative opioid prescriptions from 61% to 34% (P <.0001).
Methods: From 2017 to 2023, a questionnaire querying what medications were used for post-operative pain was administered to patients/families at a postoperative visit.

Objective: To assess a population-level perceived health status of common reconstructive urologic conditions using health utilities.
Methods: Health utilities are generic quality-of-life measures that can help describe overall health status and can quantitatively compare different disease states and the perceived benefits of various interventions. An a priori determined, representative sample of adult men were recruited by Qualtrics to review standardized scenarios describing typical patients with reconstructive urologic conditions, surgeries to treat conditions, and control conditions (eg, blindness, osteoarthritis).

Adult Acquired Buried Penis (AABP) is a morbid condition that often requires surgical intervention. This retrospective study of 46 patients who underwent AABP surgery from November 2017 to July 2023 evaluates surgical outcomes, functional outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. The median follow-up (FU) was 46 months.
