Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and initial work-up for men with adult-acquired buried penis syndrome (AABP). Given the significant heterogeneity of AABP, a classification system is proposed which classifies the condition by the status of the abdominal pannus, the escutcheon, the penile skin and the scrotal skin, and their respective fascial attachments. Classification is achieved by a uniform assessment of anatomy using the proposed standardized preoperative photos. Various surgical strategies to repair AABP are proposed which, importantly, should be in line with the patient-centered goals and also differ widely with the condition.
