Laparoscopic Meckel's Diverticulectomy

How would you code Laparoscopic Meckel's Diverticulectomy? Would you use 44238 unlisted laparoscopy procedure, intestine (except rectum) or 44899 Unlisted procedure, Meckel's diverticulectomy?

Good question! I'm thinking it doesn't matter seeing as how they both say "unlisted" procedure, so the code becomes whatever you say it is. I could almost form an argument for either one.
