Hi Everyone,
I'm stumped on coding for the following surgery for a Grade IV splenic injury. Op note states the procedures as:
1. Exploratory laparotomy with splenectomy complicated by hemorrhagic shock
2. Splenic Autotransplantation
I would normally code the splenectomy 38100; however, I have never seen a "splenic autotransplantation" before and am unsure how to code this.
Can anyone help?
Happy to provide the description of the procedure if needed.
Thanks very much!
Danielle
