A patient had undergone a three-hole esophagectomy at an out of town facility. The sutures had worked loose and the patient presented to our gastroenterologist for re-suturing. This was done in the office without complication.
Is there a specific gastro CPT code for this procedure or would it fall under the 12001-12021 suturing of superficial wounds?
Thank you.
