54600 is the correct code for the surgical reduction of torsion of testis with or without fixation of contralateral testis.
Code 54550 is incorrect because this code is used for the exploration of undescended testis. Code 54620 is incorrect because this code is just for the fixation of contralateral testis. Code 54640 is incorrect because this code is for an orchiopexy.
