hello all,

Diagnostic laparoscopy and clipping of adhesion
DX: Pelvic pain

Part of op note:

There was noted that there was sort of like a band adhesion or a fold of peritoneum by the bladder which was just incised to see if this would help her with her pain.

Thanks!

58660 or 49320
 
Hi, regarding whether to use 49320 vs 58660. i would not use 49320 because that is just a diagnostic scope and your doc did perform some surgical procedure. 58660 looks like it involves the tubes and ovaries. i would be inclined to use either that code or 58662.

addendum: i did some further research and the 58660 seems appropriate.
