Any ideas on how to code this: Proctosigmoidectomy: Procedure was started laparoscopically, but because of patient's anatomy, it was converted to open. A colostomy was already in place from a previous colectomy. Thanks
 
might to share a little more about what exactly was taken.

Was the complete rectum taken? or partial with intestinal margins? Or was there actually a fair portion of intenstine taken with it?
would 45111 apply?
