:confused: I need help in coding.

Transoral marsupialization of a Zenker's Divertuculum; by firing the stapler
I'm drawn to an unlisted procedure code 43499.
 
I do not see a procedure code in CPT that addresses the transoral approach, only cervical or thoracic approach and those both require incisions so they are not appropriate. I would go with the unlisted procedure.
