Hello, I have a lap surgery where both ovaries were densely adherent to the posterior cul-de-sac. Attempts were made to manipulate the ovaries and there was spontaneous rupture of endometrium from both ovaries.
The grasper was removed and the pelvis was irrigated and aspirated. The laparoscope was removed and the pneumoperitoneum was released and the lower quadrant was closed.
Would this just be coded as a Diagnostic lap? Nothing was removed and sent to pathology.
Thanks,
Carol
