Partial Removal of a Testicle

Maryland rates for HCPCS 54522

Surgical removal of only a portion of a testicle, leaving the remaining healthy tissue in place, typically done to remove a small, suspicious, or confirmed benign mass while preserving as much testicular function as possible. It is an alternative to removing the entire testicle when the situation allows, often guided by imaging and sometimes tissue examination during the surgery. This approach aims to preserve hormone production and, when possible, fertility.
