Please let me know if you have any experience with this:
General surgeon received an intra-operative consult from an OB performing a open hysterectomy on a pt with significant adhesions of the rectum to the cervix.
Preop/Post op diagnosis: Dense adhesions in the pelvis
Description of the Procedure: The patient's abdomen & pelvis was already opened and dissection for the hysterectomy was underway. I was called intraoperatively to evaluate the adhesions of the rectum to the cervix. Using the Metzenbaums and electrocautery, I dissected the rectum freely from the cervix to allow the completion of the TAHBSO. Hemostasis was obtained. At this time, Dr. ______ concluded the procedure.
Total Dissection time 15 minutes.
Any takers for the procedure code??
