9.OPERATIVE REPORT
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Open fracture, left humerus, with possible loss of left radial
pulse.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Open reduction internal fixation, left open humerus fracture.
PROCEDURE:While under a general anesthetic, the patient'sleft arm was prepped with
Betadine and draped in sterile fashion. We then created a longitudinal incision over
the anterolateral aspect of his left arm and carried thedissection through the
subcutaneoustissue. We attempted to identify the lateral intermuscular septum and
progressed to the fracture site, which was actually fairly easily to do because there
was some significant tearing and rupturing of the biceps and brachialis muscles.
These were partial ruptures, but the bone was relatively easy to expose through this.
We then identified the fracture site and thoroughly irrigated it with several liters of
saline. We also noted that the radial nerve was easily visible, crossing along the
posterolateral aspect of the fracture site. It was intact. We carefully detected it
throughout the remainder of the procedure. We then were able to strip the
periosteum away from the lateral side of the shaft of the humerus both proximally
and distally from the fracture site. We did this just enough to apply a 6-hole
plate,which we eventually held in place with six corticalscrews. We did attempt to
compressthe fracture site. Dueto some comminution,the fracture was not quite
anatomically aligned, but certainly it was felt to be very acceptable. Once we had
applied the plate, we then checked the radial pulse with a Doppler. We found that the
radial pulse was present using the Doppler, but not with palpation. We then applied
Xeroform dressingsto the wounds and the incision. After padding the arm thoroughly,
we applied a long- arm splint with the elbow flexed about 75 degrees. He tolerated
the procedure well, and the radial pulse was again present on Doppler examination at
the end of the procedure.

10. OPERATIVE REPORT


PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Left thigh abscess.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Incision and drainage of left thigh abscess.
OPERATIVE NOTE: With the patient under general anesthesia, he was placed in the
lithotomy position. The area around the anus was carefully inspected, and we saw no
evidence of communication with the perirectal space. This appearsto have risen in the
crease at the top of the leg, extending from the posterior buttocks region up toward
the side of the base of the penis. In any event, the area was prepped and draped in a
sterile manner. Then we incised the area in fluctuation. We obtained a lot of very foul-
smelling, almoststool-like material (it was not stool, but it was brown and very foul-
smelling material). This was not the typical pus one sees with a Staphylococcusaureus-type
infection. The incision was widened to allow us to probe the cavity fully.
Again, I could see no evidence of communication to the rectum, but there was
extension down the thigh and extension up into the groin crease. The fascia was
darkened from the purulent material. I opened some of the fascia to make sure the
underlying muscle was viable. This appeared viable. No gas was present. There was
nothing to suggest a necrotizing fasciitis. The patient did have a very extensive
inflammation within this abscess cavity. The abscess cavity was irrigated with peroxide
and salineand packed with gauze vaginal packing. The patient tolerated the procedure
well and was discharged from the operating room in stable condition.

13. OPERATIVE REPORT


PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Atelectasis of the left lower lobe.
PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with brushings and cell washings.
PROCEDURE: The patient was already sedated, on a ventilator, and intubated;so
his bronchoscopy wasdone through the ET tube. It was passed easily down to the
carina. About 2 to 2.5 cm above the carina, we could see the trachea, which
appeared good, as was the carina. In the right lung, all segments were patent and
entered, and no masses were seen. The left lung, however, had petechial
ecchymotic areas scattered throughout the airways. The tissue was friable and
swollen, but no mucous plugs were noted, and all the airways were open, just some
what swollen. No abnormalsecretions were noted at all.
Brushings were taken as well as washings, including some with Mucomyst to see
whether we could get some distal mucous plug, but nothing really significant was
returned. The specimens were sent to appropriate cytological and bacteriological
studies. The patient tolerated the procedure fairly well.

14.OPERATIVE REPORT
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Atherosclerotic heart disease.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Atherosclerotic heart disease.
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: Coronary bypass grafts ×2 with a single graft from the
aorta to the distal left anterior descending and from the aorta to the distal right
coronary artery.
PROCEDURE: The patient was brought to the operating room and placed in a
supine position under general intubation anesthesia, the anterior chest and legs
were prepped and draped in the usual manner. A segment of greatersaphenous
vein was harvested from the left thigh, utilizing the endoscopic vein harvesting
technique, and prepared for grafting. The sternum was opened in the usual fashion,
and the left internal mammary artery was taken down and prepared for grafting.
The flow through the internal mammary artery was very poor. The patient did have
a 25-mm difference in arterial pressure between theright and left arms, the right
arm being higher. The left internal mammary artery was therefore not used. The
pericardium was incised sharply and a pericardial well created. The patient was
systemically heparinized and placed on bicaval to aortic cardiopulmonary bypass
with the sump in the main pulmonary artery for cardiac decompression. The
patient was cooled to 26, and on fibrillation an aortic cross-clamp was applied and
potassium-rich cold crystalline cardioplegic solution was administered through the
aortic root with satisfactory cardiac arrest. Subsequent doses were given down the
vein grafts as the anastomoses were completed and via the coronary sinus in a
retrograde fashion. Attention was directed to the right coronary artery. The end of
the greater saphenous vein was then anastomosed thereto with 7-0 continuous
Prolene distally. The remaining graft material was then grafted to the left anterior
descending at the junction of the middle and distal third. The aortic cross-clamp
was removed after 149 minutes with spontaneous cardio version. The usual
maneuversto remove air from the left heartwere then carried out using
transesophageal echocardiographic technique. After all the air was removed and
the patient had returned to a satisfactory temperature, he was weaned from
cardiopulmonary bypass after 213 minutes utilizing 5 g per kilogram per minute of
dopamine. The chest was closed in the usual fashion. A sterile compression
dressing was applied, and the patient returned to the surgical intensive care unit
in satisfactory condition.

15. A 33 year old patient needs a peripherally inserted venous access device
for cancer treatment. The patient was placed in the supine position. Following
the administration of light anesthesia, the right arm was prepped and draped in
the usual fashion. 50 cc of 1 percent Lidocaine with bicarb wasinfused in the
skin and subcutaneous tissue and the basilic vein is punctured. Using seldinger
technique the subclavian vein was cannulated on the first attempt. A j-wire
passed easily under fluoroscopic guidance to the subclavian vein. An incision
was made and a pocket made on the fasciafor the port. The catheter was
trimmed to length attached to the port and the port placed in the subcutaneous
pocket. Catheter and port were sutured to the fascia. The wound was closed
with 3-0 Vicryl.

who has failed previous primary repair and is status post hysterectomy.
She presents for anterior repair and colpopexy. Procedure: Patient placed
in the dorsal lithotomy position and general anesthetic was induced
without problems. A midline incision is made from just above is made from
justabove the bladder neck to the vaginal cuff. She is noted to have a
grade IV cystocele. Vaginalflaps were dissected to the level of the
pubocervical fascia. Her vaginal mucosa was in good condition but near
the urethra and bladder neck it was a little thinner. There is significant
scarring on the left side from previous procedures. Ishcial spine is
identified and swept fiber fatty tissue off of the sacrospinous ligament
bilaterally. No scarring or adhesions in this area. Anterior needles were
passed into place on the elevate mesh and these were fixed in a manner
similar to the MiniArC. They were passed along just below the bladder neck
toward the obturaton foramen and fixed in place. An anterior support was
created without tension at the viscourethral junction. Apical needles were
then used to pass the apical arms into place. There were gently fixed into
place along the sacrospinous ligament approximately 2cm away from the
ischial spine. This was done bilaterally. They passed in a single pass and
were fixed in place confirmed by gentle tugging on both arms. Three
Vicryl sutures had been placed and the vaginal apex were then passed
over into the mesh and tied down. The apical arms were placed through
the eyelets of the mesh and passed down toward the sacrospinous
ligament bilaterally to create good apical support. Eyelet fasteners placed
bilaterally and mesh arms trimmed providing excellent apical and anterior
support. Vaginal mucosa was closed and vaginal packed placed. No
complications. What CPT® code(s) describe(s) this procedure?

SURGICAL FINDINGS: On pelvic exam under anesthesia, the uterus was normal
size andfirm. The examination revealed no masses. She had a few small
endometrial polyps in the lower uterine segment.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: After induction of general anesthesia, the
patient was placed in the dorsolithotomy position, after which the perineum
and vagina were prepped, thebladder straight catheterized, and the
patient draped. After bimanual exam was performed, a weighted
speculum was placed in the vagina and the anterior lip of the cervix was
grasped with a single toothed tenaculum. An endocervical curettage was
then done with a Kevorkian curet. The uterus was then sounded to 8.5 cm.
The endocervical canal was dilated to 7 mm with Hegar dilators. A 5.5-mm
Olympus hysteroscope was introduced using a distention medium. The
cavity was systematically inspected, and the preceding findings noted.
The hysteroscope was withdrawn and the cervix further dilated to 10 mm.
Polyp forceps was introduced, and a few small polyps were removed.
These were sent separately. Sharp endometrial curettage was then done.
The hysteroscope was then reinserted, and the polyps had essentially
been removed. The patient tolerated the procedure well and returned to
the recovery room in stable condition (Pathology confirmed benign
endometrial polyps).

97. This 41-year-old female presented with a right labial lesion. A


biopsy was taken, and theresults were reported as VIN-III, cannot rule
out invasion. The decision was therefore made to proceed with wide
local excision of the right vulva.
PROCEDURE: The patient was taken to the operating room, and general
anesthesia was administered. The patient was then prepped and draped
in the usual manner in lithotomy position, and the bladder was emptied
with a straight catheter. The vulva was then inspected.On the right
labium minora at approximately the 11 o'clock position, there was a
multifocal lesion. A marking pen was then used to mark out an elliptical
incision, leaving a 1-cm borderon all sides. The skin ellipse was then
excised using a knife. Bleeders were cauterized with electrocautery. A
running locked suture of 2-0 Vicryl was then placed in the deeper tissue.
The skin was finally re approximated with 4 0 Vicryl in an interrupted
fashion. Good hemostasis was thereby achieved. The patient tolerated
this procedure well. There were nocomplications.

98.Indications: 15-year-old boy was burned in a fire and assessed to have
received burns to 75 percent of his total body surface area. He was
transferred to a burn center for definitive treatment. Once stable, he was
brought to the OR. Procedure: Due to extent of the patient’s burns and
lack of sufficient donor sites, his full- thickness burns will be excised and
covered with xenograft (skin substitute graft), and a split-thickness skin
biopsy will be harvested for preparation of autologous grafts to be applied
in the coming weeks, when available. After induction of anesthesia,
extensive debridement of the full-thickness burns was undertaken.
Attention was first directed to the patient’s face, neck, and scalp. A total
of 500 sq cm in this area received full-thickness burns. The eschar
involving this area was excised down to viable tissue. Hemostasis was
achieved using electrocautery. Attention was then turned to the trunk. A
total of 950 sq cm in this area received full- thickness burns. The eschar
involving this area was excised down to viable tissue. Hemostasis was
achieved. Attention was then turned to thearms and legs. A total of 725 sq
cm received full-thickness burns. The eschar involving this area was
excised down to viable tissue. Hemostasis was achieved. Attention was
then turned to the hands and feet. A total of 300 sq cm in this area
received full-thickness burns. The eschar involving this area was excised
down to viable tissue. All involved areas were then covered with
xenograft. Finally a split thickness skin graft of 0.015 inches in depth was
harvested using a dermatome from a separate donor site. A total of 85 sq
cm was recovered. What procedures codes would be reported service?

99.Procedure Diagnosis: Basal cell carcinoma, left chin. Procedure: Wide


local excision of
3.0 cm with 0.3 cm margin basal cell carcinoma of the left chin with a 4
cm closure. Procedure: The patient’s left chin was examined. The site of
intended excision was marked out. The site was then prepped. The patient
was then prepped and draped in the usual fashion. A 15 blade scalpel was
then used to make an incision in the previously marked site. It was carried
down to the subcuticular fat. The lesion was then sharply dissected off
underlying tissue bed using a 15-blade scalpel. It was tagged for
pathologic orientation. The hyfrecator was used for hemostasis. The
wound was then closed by advancing the tissue surrounding thelesion and
closing in layers with 3-0 Vicryl for the deep layer, followed by 5-0 Prolene
for the skin. The skin closure was in a running subcuticular fashion. Steri-
Strips were then applied. What are the procedure and diagnosis codes?

100.PRE OP DIAGNOSIS: Left Breast Abnormal MMX or Palpable Mass;


Other DisordersOf Breast
PROCEDURE: Automated Stereotactic Biopsy Left Breast
FINDINGS: Lesion is located in the lateral region, just at or below the level
of the nipple on the 90 degree lateral view. There is a subglandular
implant in place. I discussed the procedurewith the patient today including
risks, benefits and alternatives. Specifically discussed was the fact that
the implant would be displaced out of the way during this biopsy
procedure.
Possibility of injury to the implant was discussed with the patient. Patient
has signed the consent form and wishes to proceed with the biopsy. The
patient was placed prone on the stereotactic table; the left breast was
then imaged from the inferior approach. The lesion of interest is in the
anterior portion of the breast away from the implant which was displaced
back toward the chest wall. After imaging was obtained and stereotactic
guidance used to target coordinates for the biopsy, the left breast was
prepped with Betadine. 1% lidocaine wasinjected subcutaneously for local
anesthetic. Additional lidocaine with epinephrine was then injected
through the indwelling needle. The SenoRx needle was then placed into
the area of interest.
Under stereotactic guidance we obtained 9 core biopsy samples using
vacuum and cutting technique. The specimen radiograph confirmed
representative sample of calcification was removed. The tissue marking
clip was deployed into the biopsy cavity successfully. This was confirmed
by final stereotactic digital image and confirmed by post core biopsy
mammogram left breast. The clip is visualized projecting over the lateral
anterior left breast in satisfactory position. No obvious calcium is visible
on the final post core biopsy image in the area of interest. The patient
tolerated the procedure well. There were no apparent complications. The
biopsy site was dressed with Steri-Strips, bandage and ice pack in the
usual manner. The patient did receive written and verbal post-biopsy
instructions. The patientleft our department in good condition.
