Default Need CPT code for Laser of Infundibular stenosis and ureteroscopy with laser of stone

The MD used an ureteroscopy to view and then used a laser to cut the infundibular (ureteropelvic junction)to get it open because there was a blockage. (1st procedure)

Also, the MD used a flexible ureteroscope to show the stones and then the stones were laser broken up into small fragments. (2nd procedure) Any suggestions.

Thanks

Look at 52345 for first procedure.

Was 2nd procedure performed during same session? Calculus located where?
