I am thinking this is just a sigmoidoscopy 45330 and EUA w/removal of foreign body 46608.
Anal area was prepped and draped. Approximately 8 cm up you could feel the colon ring. There was stricturing below it. I was able to dilate this up, place a tenaculum on this colon ring and remove it. After removing it we did a sigmoidoscopy. Posteriorly you could tell the area had sort of eroded through probably where the ring was resting and mucosa raw. Did a sigmoidoscopy and was able to go up through the anastomosis. It is tightly strictured and I dilated that up and I could get a little over a finger and a half through this anastomosis. --- Didn't think I could use 45340 as no mention of balloon was described.
Thanks
