Help please on the correct CPT. I feel I may not be understanding this procedure correctly.
PROCEDURE: The patient was placed in lithotomy position, prepped with sterilizing prep and draped in sterile fashion for transurethral procedure…a 21-French cystoscope was passed through the urethra, prostate and the bladder where cystoscopy performed with a 30 and 70 degree lens. An 8-french cone tipped catheter was impacted in the right ureteral orifice and the collecting system filled with contrast with images being obtained via the fluoroscope. Again, the ureter ended abruptly. The catheter was removed, attempted to pass a sensor wire with the floppy tip, could not pass the Pollack catheter. Again, I attempted to pass the wire and could not. Again, attempted through the Pollack, without the obvious area of occlusion or narrowing, to instill contrast to see if it would pass up and none passed and so at that point to avoid injury, the procedure was stopped. All catheters were removed. Bladder was drained. Patient awakened….
TIA
