I was just wonder how other people are coding staged bowel surgery.....
For example a trauma pt goe to the OR and the physician performs an ex-lap, and does damage control resection of the colon, & places a vac pac. The next day they go back and complete the anastomosis and close the pt up......
would it be 44140 for the first day and 49002 for the second day?
