:confused::confused:How do I code a Robotic assisted hemicolectomy? Trocars and laparscopic guidance were used, but another coder told me that all robotic assisted procedures are coded to open. Is this correct? So she suggested I use 44140. Can someone please advise?:)

I always use the laparoscopic code as per my physicians it is laparoscopically done using the robot.
44204 is the laparoscopic code :)
