An incision was made over the mid urethra dissected laterally to urethropelvic ligament. Cystoscopy revealed no penetration of the bladder. The edges of the sling were weaves around the junction of the urethra and brought up to the suprapubic incision. A hemostat was then placed between sling and the urethra, ensuring no tension.

Dx: Patellar tendinitis and chondromalacia patella

I made some vertical slits within the patellar tendon."

Pt came in w/ severe acute appy w/ peritonitis. Went in lap but had to convert to open – had to do a RT hemicolectomy due to abscess.

What do I use for the appy code?
Any information is welcome. Would love to network and possibly hire a few billers and coders as contractors.
