I am looking for a cpt code code for a falciform ligament pedicle flap. Here is the procedure and a snippet of where he placed the flap.
Procedure:
1. Exploratory laparotomy with radical resection of retroperitoneal mass (15cm)
2. Transverse colectomy EN bloc with complete mobilization of the splenic flexure
3. Distal pancreatectomy/splenectomy EN bloc
4. Peripancreatic and splenic lymphadenectomy
5. Complete omentectomy
6. Bilateral transversus abdominis plane nerve blocks with ultrasound guidance
7. Falciform ligament pedicle flap to the pancreatic transection margin
"The falciform ligament pedicle flap was advanced over the pancreatic transection margin and secured using 3-0 silk sutures.
