I need help in coding this report. The procedure performed is a " flexible cystoscopy, placement of 18-french council foley catheter, removal of suprapubic tube and closure of suprapubic incision"

Dr. coded a 52005 and 51102 but I don't feel I should bill the 51102 since no suprapubic tube was placed, there was already a tube in place, and the physician removed it and closed the suprapubic incision. Can I code for the closure?

See attached note

Thank you.
