Wiki Laparotomy, detorsion of organoaxial volvulus

[sylmedtrans@msn.com]

I need help on coding a "laparotomy, detorsion of organoaxial volvulus."

The stomach was situated upside down with the omentum and colon up against the diaphragm. Via open procedure the doc untwisted the stomach. He also pulled down the omentum and colon from the diaphragm.

Thanks!

Was the diaphragm herniated?
