The surgeon removed the gallbladder then:
Peritoneoscopy after the cholecystectomy showed a whitish 2-3 cm omental implant in the greater omentum. This was resected distal to clips with laparoscope, guidance and excised and sent separately as a biopsy.
My question is can I code for this procedure along with 47562 and if so, what code should I use? Op notes also indicate that the liver funchtion tests were normal and therefore cholangiogram was not preformed.

Thanks
