title: [False penile shortness].
abstract: The rising interest on male genital aesthetics increased the number of patients complaining of short penis. therefore, the andrologist must be able to perform a correct diagnostic assessment and to make the correct therapeutical choice as well, even if there's no standard yet. The aim of this paper is to discuss some diagnostic troubles about penile shortness and, in particular, to explain the basic surgical strategies suitable for the treatment of "hidden penis".
