Partial traumatic amputation of penis, sequela

This code describes the long-term effects or complications resulting from a partial traumatic loss of the penis. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that past event. This could include functional impairments, cosmetic deformities, or chronic pain.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained partial traumatic amputation of the penis. This applies when the acute injury has resolved, and the current encounter focuses on managing the sequelae. It is appropriate for follow-up visits addressing chronic issues related to the amputation.

• Always assign this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela being treated (e.g., pain, erectile dysfunction).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the previous partial traumatic penile amputation.
• Do not use this code for the initial acute injury; use the appropriate acute injury code for the initial encounter.
