Hello,
Can someone point me in the right direction for this, exam under anesthesia, resection/excision labial/vulvar abscesses? I came up with a few codes, but they don't exactly match up, 56405, Incision and drainage vulva abscess, or maybe 56605 biopsy of vulva lesion.
Quick summary of report,
The right labia majora had some separation with friable tissue. There were a couple more pinprick areas that drained clear fluid on the perideum.
Initially I began to debride some of the epithelialized area deep in the spot where the abscess had existed. After clearing some of that skin I was able to close the site with several interrupted sutures....
I then debrided the left abscess area. ...
Thank you for your input! Desiree
