Dr. performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic enucleation of a small liver cyst.
I have 47562 of the lap cholecystectomy.
How would you code for the cyst enucleation?

This is what the op note states " The gallbladder was identified, retracted
superiorly. There also was a cyst at five of the liver and the
cyst was about 2 x 2 cm at the edge of the liver. I used laparoscopic
scissor Bovie. I enucleated the cyst, excised it at the base, excising the
cyst roof and then cauterized the base of the cyst. We then proceeded to
the gallbladder".

Thank you!
