Discussion on Hypospadias Diseases and Operation Codes
Hypospadias are common urinary system congenital anomalies.Hypospadias repair is a repair surgery performed on a urethral orifice that is not in its normal position.According to the ICD-10 coding rule,the accurate coding of common hypospadias is given.The code for glans penis type and coronal sulcus type hypospadias is Q54.0,the code for penile body type hypospadias is Q54.1,the code for penoscrotal type hypospadias is Q54.2,and the code for perineal type hypospadias is Q54.3.Penile-scrotal type and scrotal-perineal type of hypospadias are often accompanied by deformities that require specific coding.According to the ICD-9-CM-3 coding rule,the correct coding is given for the repair of hypospadias commonly used in clinics.One-stage repair of hypospadias,one-stage correction of penile curvature by staged surgery,and two-stage repair of hypospadias by staged surgery are all coded as 58.45.Cystostomy is coded as 57.21.Orchiopexy is coded as 62.5.When coding,coders should understand the connotations of diseases and surgeries.They need to judge and accurately code hypospadias and related surgeries according to ICD-10 and ICD-9-CM-3 coding rules.
