A 5-year-old male with a history of prematurity was found to
have a chordee due to congenital hypospadias. He presents for
surgical management for a plastic repair in straightening the
abnormal curvature. Under general anesthesia, bands were
placed around the base of the penis and incisions were made
degloving the penis circumferentially. The foreskin was divided
in Byers flaps and the penile skin was reapproximated at the 12
o'clock position. Two Byers flaps were reapproximated,
recreating a mucosal collar which was then criss- crossed and
trimmed in the midline in order to accommodate median raphe
reconstruction. This was reconstructed with use of a horizontal
mattress suture. The shaft skin was then approximated to the
mucosal collar with sutures correcting the defect. Which CPT®
code should be used?
A. 54304
B. 54340
