I am hoping someone can help me....
my surgeon was called in during a hysterectomy due to extensive adhesions from the posterior uterine wall and cervix to the termianl ileum and the sigmoid colon. Op note states "we placed the retractor that was then placed by using a Bookwalter retractor to acheive better exposure. We packed all the bowel cephalad and then started our mobilization in the posterior wall of the uterus on th right, identified the cecum and terminal ileum which were seperated by dividing the line of Toldt and the completely mobilized in its cephalad on the left side, we identified the left adnexa and ovary and seprated it from the sigmoid colon by the ligasure and sharp dissection using the Bovie, we separated the sigmoid colon and rectum all the way down to the posterior cervical os. They packed everything and left it exposed for the other Dr. to finish their part.
I am at a loss. I came up with 44005-62 but somehow do not think that is correct. Please help. Thanks!
