My Doc did a laparoscopic assisted ovarian cystectomy. I suggest 58662 and he says 58925 since he did a mini-lap and dissected the cyst off of the ovary via scalpel. Any thoughts? here is the OP note

The direct open technique was used to enter
infraumbilically.

[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]Once intra-abdominal placement was confirmed, the Hasson port was [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]placed.A pneumoperitoneum was created. An anatomical survey revealed [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]the above findings. Two 5 mm ports were placed on the left and right [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]mid quadrants under direct visualization.After an anatomical survey [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]was performed, we were able to place the port directly into the mass.[/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]Pressure was held along the port site and the suction irrigator was[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]placed within the ovarian cyst.Approximately 5 L of clear fluid was [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]obtained. After this was done, further anatomic survey revealed no [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]abnormalities.[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]We then switched to a 5 mm camera. We grasped the mass through the [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]umbilical port, removed the camera and the pneumoperitoneum was reduced.[/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]We then secured a suture to the mass and placed it back in the abdomen [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]so that we could place an Alexis retractor. We first extended the skin [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]in a minimal fashion. We then grabbed the suture and brought it up[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]through the abdominal incision.We identified the tube and fimbria as [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]well as the ovary. This appeared to be more of a paratubal cyst than an [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]ovarian cyst.[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]At the previous puncture site we started the cystectomy. We peeled away [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]the overlying potentially peritoneal tissue and removed the entire cyst [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]with sharp and blunt dissection. Excellent hemostasis was obtained with [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]Bovie cautery. This was completely removed.The tube was inspected and[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]noted to be intact.However there was a hernia created during the [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]cystectomy. We then placed the edges of appeared to be the peritoneum [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]and these were closed in a running 2-0 Dexon.[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]The tube was then placed next to the ovary and all of the raw surfaces [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]were closed and excellent hemostasis was noted.This was placed back in [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]the abdomen. The retractor was then removed.The fascia was closed [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]with 0 Maxon in a running fashion.The subcutaneous area was irrigated [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]and reapproximated using 2-0 Dexon. The skin was closed using 4-0 Dexon [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]and skin glue. We also removed the lateral 5 mm ports and closed the [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]skin in a similar fashion. The patient was taken to the recovery room [/FONT][FONT=COURIER,sans-serif]in stable condition without complications.[/FONT]​
