About 54380: Epispadias repair distal to bladder neck
Surgical repair of epispadias distal to the bladder neck, reported when the operation reconstructs the penile urethra and associated penile tissues.
This operation repairs epispadias affecting the penis distal to the bladder neck. Epispadias is a congenital abnormality in which the urethral opening lies on the upper side of the penis; repair addresses the penile urethral and tissue defect. A pediatric urologist or urologist typically performs the reconstruction in an operating room, often for a child with this congenital condition.
Report the code when the operative work is an epispadias repair distal to the bladder neck.

When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard reduction.
