Urologic surgery
About 54336: Second-stage crippled-state hypospadias repair
Reports the second operation in a staged reconstruction for severe, previously operated hypospadias when the surgeon completes urethral reconstruction.
A urologist uses this code for the second stage of reconstructing severe hypospadias in a previously operated or otherwise extensively damaged penis. After the first-stage procedure has prepared tissue for reconstruction, the surgeon completes the urethral repair, typically by forming a urethral channel from the prepared tissue. This is major reconstructive surgery, generally performed in an operating room rather than as a minor office correction.
Report the code for the second-stage operation, not the preparatory first stage or a one-stage repair. The operative report should establish the history and severity of the prior repair, the staged plan, and the reconstructive work completed at this operation. Medicare includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
