Treatment of Buried Penis Using Cosmetic Penile Enhancement Implant, Himplant™ - Abstract
Buried penis is a condition in which the penile shaft is concealed by surrounding tissues, leading to physical, functional, and psychological challenges
for affected individuals. While obesity and excessive suprapubic fat are the primary risk factors in adult-acquired cases, additional factors such as post
circumcision complications and connective tissue disorders also contribute. Conservative measures, including weight loss and psychological support, often fall
short in addressing the anatomical barriers, necessitating surgical intervention. This study evaluates the efficacy of Himplant™, a medical-grade silicone
penile prosthesis, as a novel corrective option for buried penis, without concurrent suprapubic fat removal. Twelve patients underwent the procedure, reporting
statistically significant improvements in penile visibility, girth, and length, alongside enhanced self-confidence and sexual satisfaction. Postoperative complications
were minimal and managed conservatively, with no cases of implant infection or removal. These findings suggest that Himplant™ offers a promising surgical
alternative for the long-term management of buried penis, with potential to improve patient quality of life both physically and psychologically
