The doctor performed a laryngeal cleft repair with prolaryn plus. I originally was thinking cpt code 31571 or 31574. But those codes mention injection in the vocal cords and I can't find another code that is maybe closer. Does anyone have an idea if those codes are appropriate or if there is a better option? Here is the op report:
Procedure performed: Microtelescopic direct laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, repair of laryngeal cleft with prolaryn plus
After consent was obtained the patient was taken to the OR and laid supine on the table. Anesthesia was inducted. Time-out procedure was performed. Laryngoracheal anesthesia was administered. Using a Parsons laryngoscope, the epiglottis was elevated, and the glottic structures were visualized. Findings as above. Using a zero degree Hopkins rod, the subglottis was brought into view. The rod was carefully removed. No stenosis was identified. The rod was then reinserted advanced to the carina, which was sharp. Bilateral mainstem bronchi were free of any masses or lesions. The laryngoscope was then susupended and the laryngeal cleft was repaired. The cleft was above the cords and was injected with 0.2cc of Prolaryn plus gel. The scope was then carefully removed.
