Abstract EN
Introduction.
Concealed-buried penis is an acquired condition associated with obesity, challenging to both manage and repair.
Urethral stricture is a more common disorder with multiple etiologies.
Lichen sclerosus is a significant known cause of urethral stricture, implicated in up to 30%.
We hypothesize that patients with buried penis have a higher rate of urethral stricture and lichen sclerosus than the general population.
Methods.
We retrospectively reviewed a single surgeon’s (CM) case logs for patients presenting with a buried penis.
All patients were evaluated for urethral stricture with cystoscopy or retrograde urethrogram either prior to or at the time of repair for buried penis.
Those that had surgical repair or biopsy were reviewed for presence of lichen sclerosus.
Results.
39 patients met inclusion criteria.
Of these, 13 (33%) had associated stricture disease.
The location of the strictures was bulbar urethra (38%), penile urethra (15%), and meatus or fossa navicularis (62%).
Five patients had lichen sclerosus and urethral stricture disease, while 3 had lichen sclerosus without stricture.
11/13 stricture patients were treated.
Six underwent dilation, 3 underwent meatotomy, and 2 underwent urethroplasty.
No significant recurrences of stricture were seen.
Conclusion.
Patients with a concealed penis are more likely than the general population to have a urethral stricture and/or LS.
Patients presenting with concealed penis should also be evaluated for a urethral stricture.
