This one has me stumped. Patient has seroma of lumbar spine. Procedure is percutaneous aspiration and drain placement. Note reads:
"A needle was placed in the seroma under live fluoroscopy. A small amount of contrast was injected to verify good position and about 80 cc of bloody brownish fluid was removed. A guidewire was then placed and then a drain was then placed deep in the wound. The fluid was sent for cultures".
Diagnosis is "wound seroma, lumbar spine"

This doesn't fit any of the incision and drainage procedures for lumbar spine or seroma. Would you use10007 FNA biopsy under fluoro? If so, it doesn't include the drain placement. Nervous system codes don't fit. Musculoskeletal codes for aspiration don't fit. 22015 would include the drain placement, but it's an open procedure. 22015-52?
Any ideas?
