Urologic surgery
About 54680: Ectopic testis relocation to scrotum
Reports surgical movement of a testis from an ectopic location into the scrotum, with code selection guided by the documented anatomy and procedure.
A urologist, often a pediatric urologist, surgically mobilizes a testis located outside its expected descent pathway and moves it into the scrotum. The operation is generally performed in an operating room and may involve dissection to free the testis and secure it in its new scrotal position. The operative report should identify the starting location and the final placement.
Select this code when the documented service is relocation from an ectopic site, rather than a procedure defined by a specific orchiopexy approach. Record laterality, the ectopic location, the work performed to mobilize the testis, and its scrotal placement. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
