My reply is possibly - I'll tell you why. our GI surgeons are savvy. You and I both know I have no idea why four lengths of small bowel were received by your pathology department for review, but I will assure you I have seen this before. What does the "GROSS Description" state? What has been inked?
Let me tell you what ~ I have seen this okay for this scenario clearly more than once and possibly this matches what you have at hand at coding pathology okay??
Received in specimen bucket
Length of small bowel 8" distal inked in blue and proximal inked in yellow
Length of small bowel 6" distal inked in black and proximal inked in red
Length of small bowel 10" distal inked in green and proximal inked in orange
Length of small bowel 5" distal double stitched and proximal not
When you review the gross description - they state the obvious the markings (including stained margins) and length of specimen and what the pathologist is observing - perforation, no abnormality, necrosis, or otherwise. I could sit here and type all night long what I have seen here. From my fictious "OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD ASSESSMENT" you bill 88307x4 all day long and strong here.
If the GI surgeon threw it all in a specimen bucket for distinct and individual GROSS and MICROSCOPIC without marking (staining, stitching those areas that needed to be tended too) you are at the mercy of your pathology team to measure each length and distinguish it in their final pathology report. We already know dang well they did what they were supposed to do and reviewed it all and their GI procedures.
