Personal history of (corrected) hypospadias

This diagnosis code indicates that a patient has a past medical history of hypospadias, a congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis, which has since been surgically corrected. It signifies that the primary condition is no longer active but remains a relevant part of the patient's medical history.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's history of successfully treated hypospadias during subsequent encounters for unrelated conditions or for follow-up care related to the original repair. It should be used when the patient is not currently experiencing active hypospadias or complications directly related to an unrepaired hypospadias.

• Only use this code when the hypospadias has been surgically corrected.
• Do not use this code for active or uncorrected hypospadias; instead, refer to codes within the Q54 series.
• Consider using additional codes for any current complications or sequelae resulting from the previous repair, if applicable.
