I need some help with coding a procedure. I have coded 58660, but my coding is being questioned. I am being told I should have coded 49329 due to the adhesion's being bladder flap adhesion's, so I really need a 2nd opinion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Op note:
Attention was then directed to the adhesion of the bladder flap to the anterior fundal region of the uterus. Using the electrocautery hook on the suctioning device and bipolar setting, this adhesion was sharply and bluntly dissected off of the anterior aspect of the uterus, easing much of the tension on the bladder flap region. Adequate hemostasis was noted.
No further pathology was noted and therefore all instruments were removed from the laparoscopic sleeves and the pnuemoperitoneum was allowed to escape into the atmosphere.

Please let me know what you would code this procedure as.
Thank you
