Bilateral inguinal testes

This code describes the condition where both testes have not descended into the scrotum and are located within the inguinal canal. This represents a form of cryptorchidism affecting both sides.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states bilateral undescended testes located in the inguinal region. This is typically diagnosed during pediatric examinations or imaging studies.

• Ensure documentation specifies "bilateral" and "inguinal" location.
• Distinguish from abdominal cryptorchidism (Q53.1-) or unspecified location (Q53.9-).
• Do not use if only one testis is undescended; laterality is crucial for accurate coding.
