Does anyone have any resources that define which description takes priority. CPT Assost December 2007 would seem to indicate that skin-sparing is the primary description, however, these clearly are not subcutaneous.
 
Skin sparing and Mod rad mastectomies are two different things. I would further read the description in the op report. Maybe the sureon did a mod rad on one side for breast cancer and skin sparing on other side for prophylactic reasons. Otherwise..Mod rad is more extensive, I would code that.
