The op report in questions states "...The scalp flaps wre retracted with fishhooks, and the periosteum was dissected sharply and moved with periosteal elevators. Navigation was again used to approximate the location of the turmor to fashion a craniotomy. Four bur holes were made with the craniotome drill bit, and these were connected in a square-shaped fashions using a router bit. After the bone flap was removed, the dura was irrigated and coagulated. Next, dural tenting sutures were placed with 4-0 Nurolon suture, tenting the dural to the skull. A #15 scalpel blade was then used to incise the dural with its base toward the sagittal sinus.... more can be provided if needed. My question, is this...this would be 61510 with the new code 61781, not 61782. Am I correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
