What cpt would be used to code this surgery. Physician is wanting to bill for 31370. Supraglottic partial laryngectomy for tumor removal:::
The surgery was done robotically, the lesion was addressed and was noted to be a very friable papillary appearing mass which was pedunculated on the right area epiglottic fold. the mass was debulked and removed piecemeal using dissection with a spatula cautery and Maryland retractor. Frozen section came back consistent with an Atypical squamous papilloma. the mass was removed in its entirety along the area epiglttic fold and the right side of the supraglottic larynx just above the right false vocal cord.
I believe 31541.
