A little rusty on General Surgery - not my normal speciality but pitching in to help out- so asking you more experienced coders for input, please-
In summary -
Patient had a ERCP for obstructive jaundice. Post ERCP she devleoped abdominal pain and went to ER . CT scan showed she had post ERCP pneumoperitoneum.
Procedure started as Exploratory Lap . Ending up as an open procedure with T Tube in common bile duct. JP Drain around liver. Aspiration of bile. Felciform ligament was taken down to get better view of liver and small bowel . Removal os stent in the common bile duct. Mass in the pancreas with transdudenal biopsies. Closed with staples.
Any help with coding this would be appreciated !
Thank you
