Not having the op note for any more details, I'd say 69631-RT.
In the lay description of 69631, it states "the physician makes an incision in the ear canal skin through a postauricular or transcanal approach..."
Hope this helps.

69631, if reconstruction of malleus, incus, stapes or removing mastoid process was done you can bill separately
