Z code

What Z code would you use for an Aftercare following a laminectomy to remove an abscess from the spine? I am looking at Z48.3, but that is for a neoplasm and I am not sure if it fits. TIA!

Consider this Z-Code...
Z09 - Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm
