MD did extensive laparoscopic lysis of adhesions with eventual BSO followed by vaginal hysterectomy. Total time 6hrs.
Is this just 58552/22, or would it be appropriate to code 58660 & 58262 with a 59? It seems as though that would more specifically indicate the extensive lysis, but I don't know if/when those pieces of the procedure should be split.
TIA,
