I was looking for a cpt code.

Everything I have read indicates that it is similar to the Whipple but only the pancreatic head is excised. It also compare this to 48548 but still says its not the same thing. I have not op note yet as they are just scheduling this. I will provide more once surgery is complete.

Thank you
