GYN Sling procedure

I have a physician that has performed a bladder sling 57288 and did a bladder exploration 52351. Are these codes bundled?

I do not see any edits....and I am not familiar with these procedures, but if the scope was done "just as a quick check" in conjunction with the other procedure, I would not bill it.

They may have been checking to see if there was any injury to the bladder from the procedure and I would not code the bladder exploration.
