Materials and Methods: A 12-year old boy with neurogenic bladder underwent a circumcision using Plastibell device and presented a fasciitis of the lower abdomen and perineum with necrosis of the skin of the penis. He was submitted to a new surgical intervention where skin grafts from the abdomen were used to cover the body of the penis Result: The cosmetic aspect of the penis was considered adequate at six months after the surgical procedure. Conclusion: The use of skin graft could be a good and reliable alternative for different conditions resulting in buried penis.
