Bilateral intraabdominal testes

This code describes a congenital condition where both testes are undescended and located within the abdominal cavity. This represents a more severe form of cryptorchidism, as the testes have not descended into the inguinal canal or scrotum.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states bilateral intraabdominal cryptorchidism. This diagnosis is typically made during a physical examination in infancy or early childhood, often confirmed by imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI.

• Ensure documentation specifies bilateral involvement and intraabdominal location.
• Do not use this code for unilateral undescended testes or testes located in the inguinal canal.
• Consider additional codes for associated anomalies or complications, such as infertility or malignancy, if documented.
