I need a CPT code for an open hemigastrectomy with wedge resection of stromal tumor. I found 43631 but it includes gastroduodenostomy, which was not performed. The tumor was at the mid gastric level. Should I put a -52 on 43631 since a gastroduodenostomy wasn't performed or is this an unlisted procedure? I've even looked at 43611. Please help!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!
