Buried penis is a rare condition in which the preputial skin and the fat in the hypogastric area cause the body of the organ to be involved in such a way as to convey the impression that the patient has a micro penis. We present a few technical contributions to the surgical treatment of buried penis, suggesting modifications that may be of help in the treatment of those patients.
