Displacement of implanted testicular prosthesis, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication involving an implanted testicular prosthesis that has shifted from its intended anatomical position. This displacement can lead to discomfort, cosmetic issues, or functional problems for the patient, occurring after the initial healing phase of the implantation.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with symptoms or findings related to a previously implanted testicular prosthesis that is now dislodged. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing the chronic effects or management of the displaced implant, not for the initial displacement event itself.

• Ensure documentation clearly indicates the displacement is a sequela, meaning it's a late effect or complication.
• Do not use this code for acute displacement or initial complications immediately following the implant procedure.
• Consider additional codes for any associated symptoms or further interventions planned due to the displacement.
