Simple Orchiectomy (Testicle Removal Surgery)
HCPCS 54520
Orchiectomy, simple (including subcapsular), with or without testicular prosthesis, transscrotal or inguinal approach
AI EXPLANATION: A simple orchiectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both testicles. A surgeon performs the operation through a small incision made in the scrotum or the groin to carefully detach and remove the testicular tissue. In some cases, a saline- or silicone-filled artificial testicle (prosthesis) can be inserted during the procedure to preserve a natural appearance. The surgery is commonly performed in an outpatient setting under local, regional, or general anesthesia.
