title: [Management of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children by Devine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To search for a simple and effective surgical approach to the management of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used Devine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum in the treatment of 68 cases of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis. The patients were aged 3 -13 (mean 6.5) years, 30 with moderate and 38 with severe pediatric concealed penis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This strategy achieved good near- and long-term effects and satisfactory appearance of the penis, which was similar to that of circumcision. At 3 months after surgery, the penile length was 3 - 5.2 cm, averaging (2.35 +/- 0.35) cm.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Devine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum is a simple and effective surgical option for moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children.
