i'm thinking maybe 51700...do you have a report I could look at?


51700: Bladder irrigation, simple, lavage and/or instillation

 

[Cuteyr]

Clinical history:Malpositioned suprapubic catheter
The pt was placed in a supine position and under CT guidance the previously placed catheter was readjusted and placed into the bladder . Approx 20 cc's of warm saline was utilized to irrigate the bladder . The bladder wall is thickened again.
IMP: Successful repositioning of the previously placed suprapubic catheter into the bladder.No complications noted.
