One of my surgeons gave me the code 45130 for a Delorme procedure. My notes state that a Delorme procedure is code 45505. The op reads:
The mucosa was incised circumferentially and dissection was carried proximally circumferentialy in the submucosal mucosa was reapproximated to the distal edge with circumferential simple interrupted 3-0 Vicryl sutures which were also placed through several "pleats" of rectal muscle.

Any feedback?
Thanks greatly!
 
Delorme Procedure

I guess I am totally confused. According to CPT a Delorme Procedure is also a pericardectomy. I wouldn't think there would be 2 procedures on 2 different organ systems with the same name.
