Summary

This study looked at 75 children aged 1 to 12 who had surgery for a concealed penis, a condition where the penis is hidden in the pubic area. Researchers created a new scoring system that combines measurements and patient surveys to better assess long-term results. The goal is to standardize how doctors evaluate success after this common surgery.
