Which code is assigned for exploration of the scrotal area?

The code for the exploration of the scrotal area is 55110. This code is specifically designated for the exploration of the scrotum and its contents. It covers surgical procedures that involve opening the scrotum to investigate potential issues such as tumors, infection, or other abnormalities that may require examination and possibly biopsy.

This selection is appropriate because it is aligned with the specific anatomical focus of the procedure—targeting the scrotum. Each of the other codes addresses different surgical procedures or anatomical areas. For example, some codes may refer to procedures involving the abdomen, pelvis, or other regions not directly linked to the scrotum, thereby ensuring that the documentation accurately reflects the procedure performed. In this context, 55110 precisely matches the description and purpose of the exploration of the scrotal area.
