New York Subscriber Answer: You should use 54410 (Removal and replacement of all component[s] of a multi-component, inflatable penile prosthesis at the same operative session) or 54416 (Removal and replacement of non-inflatable [semi-rigid] or inflatable [self-contained] penile prosthesis at the same operative session) based on the type of prosthesis involved.
