HELP!! Esophagus foreign body removal using laryngoscope. What to code?

Hi,

I am coming across several reports wherein there is a foreign body in the esophagus. However, instead of using a rigid esophagoscope, the physician is using a laryngoscope and a telescope.
What code should be coded?

43194 – Esophagoscopy, rigid, transoral; with removal of foreign body(s)

or

31531 – Laryngoscopy, direct, operative, with foreign bodyremoval; with operating microscope or telescope

Please help!
