Wiki arthroscopic excision of cyst

[donsgirl1015]

any code for the arthroscopic excision of ganglion cyst of knee? or am I headed to unlisted-land??? thank you!

Was anything else done? If excision of the ganglion was the only procedure, I'd probably go with 29999 compared to 27347.

If done arthroscopically, it would come under the "domain/umbrella/concept" of a Limited Synovectomy, 29875. 27347 would apply to an Arthrotomy (open procedure) of the knee to remove a ganglion cyst.

I hope this helps.
