Other urethral stricture, male, overlapping sites

This code signifies a narrowing or obstruction of the male urethra that affects multiple, contiguous segments of the urethra. It represents a stricture that extends across or involves more than one distinct anatomical portion of the urethra, such as the bulbar and penile urethra simultaneously.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a male patient with urethral stricture involving overlapping or contiguous sites, rather than a single, isolated segment. This is supported by operative reports, cystoscopy findings, or imaging studies (e.g., urethrography) detailing the multi-segmental nature of the stricture.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "overlapping sites" or describes involvement of multiple contiguous urethral segments to justify this specific code.
• Differentiate from strictures affecting a single, defined site (e.g., N35.0- for meatal stricture) or unspecified sites (N35.9-).
• Always confirm the patient's sex is male, as this code is sex-specific.
