Flexible cystoscopy was carried out. The anterior and posterior urethra were unremarkable. The bladder was inspected. The floor or dependent portion of the bladder had a large amount of tiny stones or sediment. There were no obvious large stones, no obvious tumors. At this timeframe, the sediment was irrigated from the bladder through the scope and the patient tolerated the procedure fairly well.

Would I code this as 52310 or 52000? Also what would I code for the diagnosis? N21.0 or N32.89?
