Vaginal Cuff Bleeding

I am looking for a CPT® code to use for Surgical control of vaginal cuff bleeding after an anterior and posterior repair with enterocele repair. My surgeon performed the repair surgery in the morning. Four hours later he had to take the patient back to the OR for bleeding. He removed the sutures as well as the posterior repair. He irrigated and suctioned a large amount of blood clot and bleeding The bleeding was coming from the peritoneal edge and the vaginal cuff edges. He sutured the peritoneum surface to the posterior edge using running lock stich on both sides. Some intraperitoneal sutures were done on the peritoneal edges. The cuff was closed and the posterior repair was repaired again.
