Emergency Untwisting Of A Twisted Testicle

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 54600

Opens the scrotum to untwist a testicle whose blood supply has been cut off by twisting of the cord above it, and stitches it in place so it cannot twist again. The other testicle is usually stitched in place at the same time, because it is prone to the same problem. It is an emergency, since the testicle can only be saved if blood flow is restored quickly.
