The patient had a nephrectomy done by Urology but due to the quality of the tissues, the size of the wound (20 cm.), and the multiple risks for a ventral hernia, the nephrologist asked our surgeon to come in and close the abdominal wall.
What CPT code would I use for this? Complex wound repair? Intermediate wound repair? Is there some other code? Also, would I use -59 modifier on this?
Any thoughts would be welcomed.
