Partial traumatic amputation of penis, subsequent encounter

This code describes a partial traumatic loss of the penis due to injury, specifically when the patient is seen for follow-up care after the initial treatment of the injury. This indicates that the initial injury has already been addressed, and the current encounter is for ongoing management, healing, or complications.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is being treated for a partial traumatic amputation of the penis. This includes visits for wound care, infection management, assessment of healing, or follow-up after reconstructive surgery related to the initial injury. It is appropriate for any encounter after the initial emergency treatment.

• Always assign an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe the circumstances of the injury.
• Ensure the "D" seventh character is used only for encounters after the active treatment phase of the injury.
• Consider additional codes for any associated complications, such as infection (e.g., T81.4XXA) or pain (e.g., R10.2).
