摘　　要：Concealed penis (CP) is a developmental anomaly in which the penis is hidden in the skin of the abdomen, thigh or scrotum. As a result of this, the penis appears shortened in length. It was first described by Keyes Jr. E.L. in 1919. It can be associated with voiding problem and in adults, sexual issues, among others. Objective: To show that surgery can reverse celibacy induced by CP and highlight the need for an interdisciplinary approach to correction of this anomaly. Patient and Method: A thirty-one-year male patient who had a surgical release of his buried penis by two surgeons in 2019 in a private hospital. The case note was reviewed, the data obtained analyzed and the results including photographs, were presented. The patient was followed up. Result: A 10 cm length of penis and a hundred percent (100%) take of sheet of split skin graft used to resurface the denuded penis were achieved using combined spinal and epidural anesthesia. The patient, his mother and the surgeons were satisfied with the outcome. Consequently, he resolved to marry a wife after all. Conclusion: Concealed penis can now be regarded as a known cause of celibacy and surgical correction can reverse the celibate state.Concealed penis (CP) is a developmental anomaly in which the penis is hidden in the skin of the abdomen, thigh or scrotum.
