How would I code a total abdominal hysterectomy with extensive peritoneal adhesions? The op report states that adhesions had to be removed before the uterus could be removed, but does not state length of time it took to remove adhesions. The report also does not state how dense the adhesions were, just their locations. Since the adhesions were done abdominally with the hysterectomy I am not sure what loa code to use.
