My physician performed the following surgery and I need help with the appropriate CPT code(s):
1. Pfannenstiel laparotomy
2. Adhesiolysis
3. Subserosal myomectomy
4. Repair of complete dehiscence of previous low cervical transverse cesarean section scar.
..... The vesicouterine peritoneum was then reached and an incision was made with monopolar electrosurgery and the complete dehiscence of the previous low cervical transverse cesarean section scar was identified, the edges were freshened up with scissors. hemostatsis was secured with monopolar electrosurgery. Then, the dehiscence was reapproxiamated by using 3-0 Vicryl interrupted stitches beginning from each angle and meeting in the midline. Hemostatsis was secured with monopolar electrosurgery.
This is a new procedure to me therefore, I'm unsure of the appropriate code(s). I would appreciate any assistance you can give.
Thanks!!
