peritoneal stripping

Hi, can you please tell me if peritoneal stripping increases a a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and omentectomy for ovarian cancer from 58950 to 58952? I am not clear if the stripping is the same as debulking, I think it is but would like to know for positive.
Thanks so much--KC

Peritonectomy procedure is also known as peritoneal stripping. It would be considered debulking
In your case you are looking at code range 58950-58958
