Use the #+call mechanism:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* subroutine
#+name: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp :var x=1
(* x x)
#+END_SRC
* call
#+call: foo(4)
#+RESULTS: foo(4)
: 16
* call
#+call: foo(5)
#+RESULTS: foo(5)
: 25
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
