Concealed penis: rare complication of circumcision

Urol Int. 2001;66(2):117-8. doi: 10.1159/000056585.

Abstract

A man presented with a concealed penis which developed after circumcision. In addition to anatomic variations in penile skin attachment and obesity, circumcision is an iatrogenic cause in the etiology of a concealed penis. Although it is a frequent and simple operation, it may lead to uncommon complications due to a lack of experience and poor technique.
