I am unsure of CPT. Looking at 52648. Would like other coders opinions. Any help is appreciated.
operation:: cystoscopy, urethral dilation of urethral stricture with laser with diode laser 1470 nanometes, prostatectomy and TUR of prostate.
procedure: cystoscopy revealed a mild stricture of the proximal bulbous urethra which was dilated with Buren sounds to 29-French. Using the laser cystoscope and the 1000 micron fiber with a night-angle lens 1470 diode laser prostatectomy was performed creating an open prostatic fossa. At this point the laser malfunctioned and the remainder of the prostatectomy was achieved with the 26-French Storz continuous flow rectoscope loop creating a nice opened pear-shaped fossa preserving the verumontanum, external sphincter and ureteral orifices. All chips were evacuated with the Ellik evacuator. A 22 three-way catheter with a 30mL balloon was placed.
