Excision of rectosigmoid endometrial implants. Have been all over the board with this one!! Please, any suggestions???
 
Endometrial implants are nothing but the endometrial tissues getting infiltrated or embedded into the tissues of the organs ,one such eg is getting into the rectum /and sigmoid colon or any intestinal part and causes ENDOMETRIOSIS and depending on th etissues or organs invovled the name is given. In this scenario, it is called rectal/rectosigmoidal/ large intestinal Endometriosis - it is lesion type and excision of lesion-
Excision rectal lesion or tumor- is the appropriateCPT code you have to look for - if open surgery, may be in one of these 45150 or 45160.

Diagnosis code will be 617.5- Intestinal Endometriosis.
Hope this helps .
