About 54352: Revision of prior hypospadias repair
Surgical revision of a prior hypospadias repair addresses recurrent urethral or penile problems, such as a fistula, narrowing, or persistent curvature.
A urologist performs this operation to correct a structural problem that persists or develops after an earlier hypospadias repair. Revision may involve rebuilding the urethra or correcting associated penile curvature or deformity. Common reasons for reoperation include a urethrocutaneous fistula, narrowing at the reconstructed urethra or meatus, or recurrent curvature. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room, often by a pediatric or reconstructive urologist.
Report the code when the operative work revises a previously repaired hypospadias, rather than treating it as a first repair. The operative report should identify the prior repair, the current anatomic problem, and the revision performed. Urethral reconstruction and correction of curvature that form part of the revision are included in the service. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

54352 billing questions
When should I report this instead of a code for an initial hypospadias repair?
Use this code when the operation revises a previously repaired hypospadias. A first-time reconstruction is coded according to the applicable repair service, not as a revision.
Can urethral reconstruction or curvature correction be reported separately?
Those elements are included when they are part of the revision of the prior hypospadias repair. The operative report should describe the problem and the work performed.
Should modifier 50 be appended for a bilateral procedure?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How does the 90-day global period affect follow-up billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90-day period are included in the global surgery payment.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and additional procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
