Introduction: We present a case report on six patients who underwent a combined approach to improve the cosmetic appearance and functional performance of their buried penis. Aim: To report our combined approach to improve both buried penis and erectile dysfunction. Methods: In one surgery, we performed: a malleable penile prosthesis, ventral phalloplasty, and penile suspensory ligament release followed by a suprapubic lipectomy. Results: Postoperatively, all patients had an increase in penile length and were able to achieve successful penetrative intercourse. The average difference between the pre-operational and post-operational flaccid length of our six patients was 3.5 cm ± 1.38 (range, 1.9 to 5.08 cm). Conclusion: This case series serves as successful examples of using a combined approach in one stage to not only improve the cosmetic appearance of a buried penis but also address erectile dysfunction.
