I have a doctor who performed a resection of a deep lobe parotid tumor (with nerve dissection and preservation) but preserved the lateral (superficial) lobe. Because it isn't a total gland removal, I was thinking of coding 42420 with a 52 modifier. Any thoughts? I figure 42415 isn't appropriate because from what I can tell, it includes the excision of the lateral lobe. Thanks!
