Reference the codes ranging from 54322 through 54336. There are codes for distal, proximal, and perineal hypospadius repair. The link below includes a diagram that will help identify which code to use based upon the location of the urethral meatus. Hope this helps!

Tubular incised plate(TIP),Snodgrass technique, is a urethroplasty with skin flap to cover the urethroplasty. It is a 1-stage procedure with correction of chordee. Refer to your op-report and then check codes 54322-54336.
Good luck.
