Partial traumatic amputation of scrotum and testis, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a partial traumatic loss of both the scrotum and a testis. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but the patient is now experiencing residual issues directly attributable to that past event, such as chronic pain, functional impairment, or cosmetic deformity.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient who previously sustained a partial traumatic amputation of the scrotum and testis, and is now presenting with a condition that is a direct consequence or late effect of that original injury. This includes scenarios where the patient is undergoing reconstructive surgery, managing chronic pain, or addressing psychological sequelae years after the initial trauma.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following a primary code that describes the specific sequela being treated (e.g., chronic pain, scar contracture).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past partial traumatic amputation of the scrotum and testis.
• Do not use for the initial injury or for acute complications; this code is specifically for late effects.
