53060 is the correct code for the drainage of Skene's gland abscess.
Code 53040 is incorrect because this is the code for drainage of a deep periurethral abscess. Code 53080 is incorrect because this is the code for drainage of perineal urinary extravasation that is uncomplicated and code 53085 is the code for a complicated drainage of the perineal urinary extravasation.
