Urologic surgery
About 54130: Radical penectomy with bilateral inguinal node dissection
Reports radical removal of the penis with bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection, typically for penile cancer requiring resection and nodal treatment.
This major urologic operation removes the penis as part of a radical resection and includes dissection of inguinal lymph nodes on both sides. Urologists typically perform it in an operating room for penile cancer when the operative plan calls for both the primary tumor resection and bilateral inguinal nodal surgery. The included nodal work distinguishes this service from penile amputation without lymphadenectomy and from procedures addressing pelvic nodes.
Report 54130 when the operative documentation supports radical penile resection and bilateral inguinal lymph node dissection. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
