54162Report Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 54162 (lysis or excision of penile post-circumcision adhesions) when lysis of preputial adhesions or skin bridge is performed by cutting with an instrument (under sterile conditions) and under general anesthesia or regional block.
54162In this case, you should submit 54162, “Lysis or excision of penile postcircumcision adhesions.”An alternative to 54162 is 54450, “Foreskin manipulation including lysis of preputial adhesions and stretching.” You should use this code if the foreskin is still partially adhered to the penis and creates problems (this ...
Definition of lysis of penile adhesion surgery A penile adhesion or skin bridge is a dense piece of skin seen in some males who have been circumcised. The skin forms a bridge fused to the head of his penis. Lysis of this bridge involves separating and removing the bridge of skin.
Penile adhesions in boys occur when the penile shaft skin adheres (sticks) to the glans or head of the penis. This can happen in both circumcised and uncircumcised boys. The adhesions can be located anywhere around the head of the penis and vary in severity.

As your child gets spontaneous erections, the softened adhesions will break up more easily. Petroleum jelly is also sometimes recommended after adhesion removal surgery to prevent new ones from forming. Steroid cream. Other penile adhesions require the application of a steroid cream twice a day for six weeks.
An adhesion within penile tissue can occur due to a prior circumcision, tight foreskin, and/or inflammation of penile tissue. Penile adhesion can correct by itself without a surgical procedure. Excision of adhesive tissue can lead to cosmetic and functional improvement.
An adhesion is a band of scar tissue that joins two surfaces of the body that are usually separate. The formation of scar tissue is the body's repair mechanism in response to tissue disturbance caused by surgery, infection, injury (trauma) or radiation.
Depending on the time and effort involved, lysis of adhesions might be billed separately. CPT® includes a number of codes dedicated to lysis of adhesions (categorized by location).
