Displacement of implanted penile prosthesis, sequela

This code describes a long-term complication where an implanted penile prosthesis has shifted from its intended position within the penis. This displacement can lead to discomfort, malfunction of the device, or other adverse effects that manifest after the initial healing period. It signifies a problem that has arisen as a consequence of the previous implantation.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with symptoms or findings related to a previously implanted penile prosthesis that has moved. This applies to follow-up visits or subsequent encounters where the displacement is identified and requires management, such as revision surgery or removal. It is appropriate for situations where the displacement is a chronic or late-onset issue.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the type of penile prosthesis (e.g., inflatable, malleable) if known and relevant.
• Ensure documentation clearly indicates that the displacement is a sequela, meaning it's a late effect or complication of the initial implantation.
• Do not use this code for acute or immediate post-operative complications; those would fall under different T83.xx codes.
