Hello ENT coders,
Doctor states in OP note procedure "nasal septoplasty" with deviated septum and acquired deformity.
The septum has been buckled in its mid-portion to the left, causing near complete obstruction on that side. Also a little decompression of the left upper lateral cartiage.
Op note states:
"The fracture line went from high posterior to more caudally inferiorly. A wedge of cartilage ws removed from this region, leaving an intact nasal dorsal strut. From this cartilage, a small spreader graft was fashioned. The muscoperichondrium on the left hand side, a Woodson elevator was run along the junction of the septum and the upper lateral cartilage and then a 15 blade. A space between this area was wedged open slightly and cartilage was interposed.
A few small darts were then made to accommodate small areas of deflection"
Would this be 30465-52 and bundle 30520?
Thanks for any input!
