Patient had a colonoscopy done prior to ostomy take down, per request of surgeon.

What would be the proper indication for colonoscopy procedure?

There's not enough information here to be able to come up with a code. Why did the surgeon request the colonoscopy? Without knowing that, and without reviewing the patient's records, it's really quite impossible to recommend any coding.
