resection rectal prolapse

[shenning]

There was 2-4CM of excess protruding rectal mucosa that was excised at teh dentate line and subtured due to rectal prolapse and necrosis. How would you code this? I looked at 45130 but I'm not sure this qualifies.
Thanks,

Look at the lay description for 45541 to see if this qualifies.

hii,

i agree with 45130 since the prolapse mass has to be excised prior to fixation.


Thank you,
