Penile adhesions in circumcised boys occur when the penile shaft skin sticks, or adheres, to the glans of the penis. The glans is the bulbous structure at the end of the penis. Skin bridges are a thicker, more permanent attachment.
The physician diagnoses excess foreskin due to inadequate circumcision. Codes N99. 89 (other postprocedural complications and disorders of genitourinary system) and N47. 8 (other disorders or prepuce) are reported.
54162In this case, you should submit 54162, “Lysis or excision of penile postcircumcision adhesions.”An alternative to 54162 is 54450, “Foreskin manipulation including lysis of preputial adhesions and stretching.” You should use this code if the foreskin is still partially adhered to the penis and creates problems (this ...
N47. 5 - Adhesions of prepuce and glans penis. ICD-10-CM.
Background: Phimosis and redundant prepuce are defined as the inability of the foreskin to be retracted behind the glans penis in uncircumcised males.
Z41. 2—Encounter for routine and ritual circumcision would be used when an infant presents for circumcision after the birth episode and there is no medical cause identified for the circumcision.
Following a circumcision, the penis may drop back into the pubic fat pad and the surgical area may contract, trapping the penis. In this situation, you will not be able to expose the glans of the penis at all. We have found that cicatrix can be safely and effectively treated with a topical steroid cream.
When a circumcision is done, tissue which would normally be intact is split. Unless proper care is taken, the epithelium of the inner prepuce at the point where the foreskin was removed can reattach to the epithelium of the glans. The result of this is a penile adhesion.
The two medical billing codes used for newborns circumcision are 54150 and 54160. 54150 means, circumcision, using clamp or other device; newborn. The current procedural terminology code 54160 means circumcision surgical excision other than clamp, device or dorsal slit; newborn.
Penile adhesions happen for a variety of reasons, including: Too much foreskin left behind after circumcision. Not pulling back the foreskin often enough, or a foreskin that cannot be retracted at all. Fat pushing the penile skin forward.
ICD-10 code: N47 Redundant prepuce, phimosis and paraphimosis.
Penile skin bridges are adhesion between penile shaft skin and the glans penis after circumcision.[1] They may tether the circumcised penis during erections, causing deformity and occasionally pain.[2] Skin bridges constitute healed surgical wounds and require division for correction.[1]
Depending on the time and effort involved, lysis of adhesions might be billed separately. CPT® includes a number of codes dedicated to lysis of adhesions (categorized by location).
