    CPT $55866$. This code covers minimally invasive laparoscopic excision of the prostate, incorporating nerve preservation techniques if indicated.

15. Which CPT code range contains cystourethroscopy (diagnostic and operative endoscopy of bladder/urethra)?

    CPT $52000$-$52356$. CPT designates this range for endoscopic procedures involving diagnostic and operative cystourethroscopy of the bladder and urethra.

16. What is the CPT code for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), medium ($2.0$ cm to $5.0$ cm)?

    CPT $52235$. This code applies to transurethral resection of medium-sized bladder tumors ranging from $2.0$ cm to $5.0$ cm.

17. Identify the correct CPT code for diagnostic cystoscopy with ureteral stent insertion during the same session.

    CPT $52332$. This comprehensive code includes the diagnostic cystoscopic examination bundled with the stent placement in a single session.

18. What is the CPT code for vasectomy (unilateral or bilateral) including postoperative semen examination?

    CPT $55250$. This code applies to surgical interruption of the vas deferens on one or both sides, including follow-up semen analysis.

19. What is the CPT code for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), small ($0.5$ cm to $2.0$ cm)?

    CPT $52234$. This code is sized-based for transurethral endoscopic removal of small bladder tumors measuring between $0.5$ cm and $2.0$ cm.

20. What is the CPT code for radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy (retropubic approach)?

    CPT $55845$. This code includes open retropubic removal of the prostate with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection for malignancy.

21. What is the CPT code range for male genital system surgical procedures (penis, testis, scrotum, prostate)?

    CPT $54000$-$55899$. This range includes surgical procedures on the penis, testis, scrotum, epididymis, tunica vaginalis, seminal vesicles, spermatic cord, vas deferens, and prostate in the male genital system section of CPT.

22. What is the CPT code for diagnostic cystourethroscopy (cystoscopy) without additional procedures?

    CPT $52000$. This code specifically describes a standalone diagnostic endoscopic examination of the bladder and urethra without any additional interventions.

23. What is the CPT code for cystourethroscopy with insertion of an indwelling ureteral stent (e.g., double-J)?

    CPT $52332$. This code is used for endoscopic bladder examination combined with placement of a temporary or permanent ureteral stent like a double-J.
