There are no codes in the vulvar excision section for a cyst removal (other than Bartholin's) and this cyst was of the labia so that rules out the vaginal cyst excision code of 57135. The code I have settled on is 11423: Excision, benign lesion including margins...genitalia; excised diameter 2.1 to 3.0cm.
The Gyn surgeon did a lap oopherectomy. Our surgeon did a lap rectopexy, and also found a peri-rectal cyst which he removed during the lap rectopexy. I have the 45400-52 for the rectopexy, but I can't find an appropriate code for the lap cyst removal. The procedure heading states it was a peri-rectal cyst, but the body of the report just states in the peritoneum. Posted 3 Year(s) ago. I would go with 58662 here.
