PREOPERTIVE DIAGNOSIS: Uterine perforation with hemoperitoneum.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Uterine perforation with hemoperitoneum.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: Operative laparoscopy with coagulation of bleeding perforation site and evacuation of 600 mL of hemoperitoneum.
The doctor sent me a message regarding the procedure:
Pt was seen for acute abdomen, transfused blood. CT showed hemoperitoneum- active bleed from uterine defect. We did diagnostic laparoscopy (open), evacuated hemoperitoneum, coagulated uterine defect/bleeder, pt left same day in the afternoon.
I thought about possibly using code 59151, but I am not sure that is correct. Any help would be much appreciated!!
