During a Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholangiogram there was a bile leak that developed and was repaired. Is this repair separately reportable? 47563 for the cholecystectomy, laparoscopic, with cholangiogram, along with 47579 for the repair (unlisted laparoscopy procedure, biliary tract), or is this repair an incidental part of the procedure?

Thank you!
