Congenital megaprepuce: review of the literature

Abstract

Congenital megaprepuce (CMP) is a specific cause of buried penis which occurs as an isolated anomaly. The cause of CMP is not known. However, developmental disruption has been confirmed histologically by the presence of dysplastic dartos tissue. Many surgical techniques have been described, but none seems to be better than another in all aspects.

In this narrative review of the literature, we aim to provide a comprehensive, critical and objective analysis of the current knowledge on the topic.
