Our Thoracic Surgeon did a Resection of Zenker's diverticulum plus pharyngo-esophagomyotomy. This is a area I am not to familar with. I did come up with proc code 43130.
He preformed a anterior sternocleidomastiod incision, he mobilzed the Zenkers diverticulum, removed remnants of pharyngeus muscle over the diverticulum, which was then dissected extensively up to its neck, then a complete dissection of the diverticulum was done. Then a Pharyngo-esophagomyotomy as done for a distance of 7-8 Cm distally dividing the muscle and spreading it out. .
Thank you and any suggestions would be appreciated!
