When coding a debridement right ischial pressure ulcer with partial ostectomy in preparation for flap do you recommend 15946?

Going back in a week later and doing another debridement right ischial pressure ulcer with partial ostectomy with the muscle flap for closure would it be:
15946, 15734-51?

Thank you for the guidance.
 
Just based on your explanation I would do.

First debridement.
15945

Take back.
15734-m-58-planned
15946-m-58-planned

I agree!
First procedure 15945
Second 15734, 15946 with modifier 58 for staged procedure
