Hello, How do you code Anesthesia, if the patient went in for back surgery and the surgeon was entering anterior for a ACDF and accidently nicked the patients esophagus, the surgery is cancelled and a different surgeon is called in to repair the nick. In the meantime Anesthesia never stops and the whole procedure was over 2 hrs. Do we code for back surgery? but what about the additional time? Thank you for the help
