Looking for a cpt code for a diverting loop ileostomy. Pt has an enlarged pelvic mass and a recurrent small bowel obstruction. Pt had diverting loop ileostomy, biopsy of pelvic mass and repair of the large ventral hernia. Pt is not a candidate for optimal surgical debulking.
First they did a dilation and currettage of the uterus and then they performed a infracolic omentectomy. took a biopsy of the pelvic mass and then the attention was turned to performing the distal ileum loop ileostomy. Having trouble with the code for the ileostomy?
 
Check code 44320 49321
Omentectomy is bundle 49255 to 44320 as well as the hernia you might want to add a 22 and verbae on box 19

hope this helps
