Diagnosis: 1.5 cm erythematous polyp protruding from the anal canal.

Procedure: Sterile prep, anesthetized with 1% lidocaine with epinephrine
Base of the polyp ligated with 2-0 Vicryl. Polyp excised with scissors. Pressure held and hemostatic at end of procedure.

This procedure was done in the office. I have come up with 45171 but unsure if this is correct d/t it says partial thickness.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
