My surgeon did an open exploration of a urostomy and I can't find even a generic code for an open stoma exploration...help...Here's his description:The area medial to the urostomies were prepped w/ Betadine and draped w/ sterile towels and drapes. A vertical incision was made. Dissection was carried down into the parastomal space, no fluid collection was present both superiorly and inferiorly to the urostomies, I explored in this space w/ no evidence of fluid collection. This most likely represents a spontaneous decompression of fluid collection, probably internally and nothing further was needed. The wound was closed w/ a running 4-0 nylon and covered w/ a sterile dressing. The urostomy apparatus was replaced.
