pt had a THD procedure done for hemmorhoids but came back in about a week-
INDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURE: The patient is a ......gentleman who has undergone a hemorrhoidopexy on 5/18/2012. He was fairly straining while having a bowel movement, felt something "give" and presented to the office yesterday with the cubic prolapsed left lateral hemorrhoidal group with excruciating pain. For pain control is now admitted for hemorrhoidectomy.
which would be the correct modifer to use for this surgery?? its not a complication from the first surgery but not totally unrelated?
