how you would code...
Endoscopic excision of forehead soft tissue mass 3 x 2 cm
Pt was prepped and draped in the usual fashion. There area was infiltrated
with lidocaine and epinephrine. A small incision was made in the hairline and
a subgaleal pocket was created. We placed an endoscope and under video-
directed vision, we identified a soft tissue fatty tumor in the subcutaneous
plane. This was then carefully dissected circumferentially and a 2 x 3 cm
soft tissue mass was then pulled out through the endoscope, a remote access
hole for the forehead. The pocket was irrigated. Hemostasis was obtained.
The incision was closed with chromic and staples.
