I've pondered that, too, but it may actually be rather complicated. You can perform an orchiectomy as a separate step, but once you remove the erectile tissue from the penis, you're standing with a messy bundle of skin, nerves and urethra that have to go somewhere. Just sewing it up in order to invert it later may make the prospect of having a hole free of scars even worse.Honestly, with a surgery this complicated, I would expect it to be done in stages. Maybe do the first, major surgery, then wait six months to a year for everything to heal and settle in before going back and doing cosmetic work.
And then there are obvious factors of cost and risk- every time a person is brought under anaesthesia and cut open incurs a certain chance of adverse outcome.
