What does the term Orchiopexy mean?

Orchiopexy (or orchidopexy) is a surgery to move an undescended (cryptorchid) testicle into the scrotum and permanently fix it there. Orchiopexy typically also describes the surgery used to resolve testicular torsion.

What is a simple orchiectomy?

In a simple orchiectomy, the testicle and just a short segment of the spermatic cord are removed, typically through an incision in the scrotal wall. Simple orchiectomies are performed for reasons of severe infection or chronic pain. Both testicles can be removed to temporarily help in the treatment of prostate cancer.

What is the difference between a simple and radical orchiectomy?

Simple Orchiectomy: During a simple orchiectomy, the testicle is removed through the scrotum. As in a radical inguinal orchiectomy, a prosthetic testicle can be inserted. In both simple and radical orchiectomy, a single testicle can be removed, or both testicles, which is called bilateral orchiectomy.

How do you code a newborn circumcision?

Note: If circumcision using a clamp or other device is performed without dorsal penile or ring block, append modifier 52 (reduced services) to 54150. If circumcision performed by surgical excision other than clamp, device, or dorsal slit takes place outside of the neonatal period, see code 54161.

How do you bill for circumcision?

Surgical excision: For a circumcision done by surgical excision (other than clamp or dorsal slit), use code 54160 or 54161. These two surgical excision codes have been clarified to indicate that 54160 is for a newborn 28 days of age or younger and 54161 is for a male older than 28 days of age.

How is an Orchiopexy performed?

Orchidopexy. In most cases, if the testicle can be felt in the groin, a simple orchidopexy can be performed. This involves first making a cut (incision) in the groin to locate the undescended testicle. The testicle is then moved downwards and repositioned in the scrotum through a second incision.
