ileoanal anastomosis coding
Today I just performed a complete proctectomy, take down of end ileostomy, creation of ileal reservoir J pouch with ileoanal anastomosis with loop ileostomy. What is the codes I would use for this?
This operation I did today is for a patient who had ulcerative colitis and is s/p laparoscopic subtotal colecctomy with end ileostomy 6 months ago. Now I am performing J pouch.
Thanks
