Wiki CPT code for Lap. Radical Cystectomy

[ybarde]

Hi,

My physician did laparoscopic radical cystectomy with ileal loop conduit diversion along with lymph node dissection.
Please guide me which CPT codes need to code.

Thanks.

Laparoscopic radical cystectomy

I use an unlisted code 51999 for the laparoscopic radical cystectomy and compare it to code 51570(increase the fee by 30% for difficulty of lap over an open) 38571 code for the lap pelvic lymph nodes - Was the ileal loop done open if so use 50820 or 50825(neobladder)? Hope this helps.
