A 27-year-old male has condyloma in the ventrum of the penis. In the operating suite, general anesthesia was administered. The lesions were individually lasered with a power to 10-15. Once this was completed, the eschar was removed from the base of the condyloma and the area was free of lesions.

Explanation
The correct CPT® code is 54057, which is used for the destruction of condylomata acuminata of the penis involving laser treatment. Code 54055 is for a different procedure that does not include laser treatment, while codes 57056 and 57050 apply to procedures related to the female genital system, not applicable in this scenario.
