Wiki Please help

Good morning, I've never coded a dilation through the gastrostomy. Please help? For some reason, I can't post the procedure from my SnipIt.

Patient has pyloric stricture. Surgeon took patient to or suite, removed GTube, enlarged the tract, inserted endoscope, passed through stomach to pyloric stricture and dilated the stricture. I see ileoscopy and colonoscopy through stoma but not what I need. Help, please?
