Wiki cataract surgery

I need some help and I may be over thinking this but...here goes.

If a patient is already scheduled for cataract surgery and and the surgeon performs this surgery and ends up having do a posterior vitrectomy which was not planned what are the billing guidelines for this. Can you still bill it eventhough it was not planned? All input would be welcome. TJ

to the best of my knowledge it is considered bundled, incident to the primary procedure.
