To repair a cystocele, physician performs laparoscopic colpopexy using a surgical robot. Several ports were created for the robotic arms & scope, then the abdomen was insufflated with CO2. The colpopexy is then performed.
Is this 57280 because of the abdominal approach? CPT doesn't state "open abdominal," although CPT Reference of Clinical Examples, 2nd edition, seems to indicate that the procedure is performed through a single abdominal incision. Should I use mod-52 because of the robotic-assist & approach?
Thanks for your thoughts!!
