This patient has gastric remnant of about 15cm after excision of stomach. Can V45375 be coded or does the entire stomach need to be absent before this code can be used? Thanks.
 
sub-total gastrectomy

V45.75 is for acquired/partial/postoperative. That's what I get. So, if it's just partial or if it's complete. Same code.
