Four months ago patient had terminal ileum removed and right colectomy and used code 44160. Patient now found to have sigmoid cancer and they are doing a completion colectomy. Transverse, descending and sigmoid are resected with splenic flexure takedown. Anastomosis then performed of the ileum and rectosigmoid. No colostomy done. I was thinking 44160, but that is what I used the first surgery. Or 44140 and 44139. Please help!
