Hey everyone

If the tubes/ovaries are resected laparoscopically and a mass as well done lapro, but everything wouldn't fit into the endocatch bag because specimens were to big and a mini laparotomy was performed at the end to removed specimens do we still code the procedure as lapro and nothing in addition mabye a 22? I would assume.......

Thanks so much
 
Hello,
No modifier 22 in this case. You can search this topic' mini laparotomy' in this forum. It was extensively discussed with rational provided by our OBGYN experts for which we are very grateful.
