“…Most often, it is assumed that aberrant attachment of the penile skin and Dartos fascia to the underlying Buck's fascia is the origin of concealed penis [ 3 , 4 ]. Abnormal Dartos fascia itself including inelasticity and fibrosis also contributes in pathophysiology of this disease [ [5] , [6] , [7] ].…”

“…Abnormal Dartos fascia itself including inelasticity and fibrosis also contributes in pathophysiology of this disease [ [5] , [6] , [7] ]. Other hypotheses include a lack of skin covering the ventral penile shaft, an abundance of prepubescent fat, and an aberrant ventral displacement of the penis [ 3 , 4 ]. Typically, acquired cases of concealed penis occur as a complication of neonatal circumcision, where postoperative cicatricial scar formation over the glans entraps the penis [ 4 ].…”

“…Currently, there are numerous techniques that can be applied in situations where the penile skin coverage is insufficient during reconstruction, including vascularized skin flaps, island pedicle flaps, free skin grafts, or scrotal flaps [ 4 , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] ]. A two-stage repair can also be done in the case of limited skin coverage [ 3 ].…”

“…Circumcision is traditionally used in CP surgery, but the problem of insufficient skin coverage is frequently seen after the surgery, especially in cases having undergone circumcision as the initial treatment option (31)(32)(33)(34). Besides, following circumcision, the penis recedes further beneath the surrounding tissues, giving the impression that an inadequate circumcision was performed, and so, many of these children are then referred for redo circumcision (31)(32)(33)(35)(36)(37). In this process, many surgeons choose to remove many dartos attached to Buck's fascia to reduce the postoperative edema or hyperplasia of the dartos, resulting in poor cosmetic results.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the nerve plexus distribution in dartos fascia of concealed penis (CP). A total of 28 CP patients met ASA categories I and II were included, with median age of 3.5 years (8 months−5 years). During the surgery, tissue samples of dartos fascia at points 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock of the penile shaft were collected. Standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and S-100 immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the nerve plexus distribution among different positions. The number of nerve plexuses in superficial fascia collected at the 6 o'clock position of the penile shaft was the most abundant among four positions (median 7.25, range 1–24). The abundant nerve plexuses in the dartos fascia of CP patients, especially at the 6 o'clock position, indicate that the surgery on the preputial frenulum should avoid damage to the dartos fascia, as it might be related to maintain the erection and sexual function in adolescence.

“…It is manifested as a hidden penis in the groin instead of being visible on the body's surface [2]. CP can be easily overlooked, especially in infancy and early childhood [3]. If left undiagnosed and untreated, CP can lead to various complications, such as balanitis, hygiene and voiding di culties, urinary tract infections, and psychosocial trauma [4].…”

Background Concealed penis (CP) is a significant genital malformation in children that can lead to complications if left untreated. Guardians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding CP management play a crucial role in early diagnosis and intervention. CP often goes unnoticed in early childhood, leading to potential complications. This study aimed to assess the KAP among guardians of boys regarding the management of CP, with the hypothesis that there may be gaps in knowledge and awareness. Methods A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among guardians of boys in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, local hospital from November 2022 to March 2023. A self-administered questionnaire collected demographic information and assessed KAP. The data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and structural equation modeling. Results Out of 394 participants, 11.68% reported their children had CP. Mean scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 4.00 ± 2.00, 35.63 ± 3.40, and 23.03 ± 6.97, respectively. Significant positive correlations were found between KAP. Structural equation modeling revealed that knowledge influenced attitude and practice, and attitude influenced practice. CP diagnosis directly affected participants' practice. Guardians displayed limited knowledge but positive attitudes toward CP management. However, their practices were relatively inactive. These findings suggest a need for targeted educational initiatives and improved communication between guardians and healthcare providers to enhance CP management. Conclusions To improve outcomes for affected children, it is imperative to develop educational strategies and encourage open dialogues between guardians and healthcare providers.
