Complete traumatic amputation of scrotum and testis, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a complete traumatic amputation of both the scrotum and a testis. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual issues directly related to the loss of these organs due to trauma.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for a condition that is a direct consequence of a past complete traumatic amputation of the scrotum and a testis. Examples include managing prosthetic needs, addressing psychological sequelae, or treating chronic pain stemming from the amputation site, long after the initial injury has been resolved.

• Always use a seventh character "S" for sequela when reporting this code, indicating a late effect.
• Do not use this code for the initial injury or for active treatment of the acute traumatic amputation.
• Consider additional codes to specify the nature of the sequela (e.g., pain, psychological distress, complications of prosthetic fitting).
