Starting with CPT 44620, this is your code for your “basic” takedown procedure. In this procedure, the surgeon disconnects the end of the small or large intestine from the abdominal wall and reconnects that end to the remaining intestine back inside the body. He then closes the former ostomy opening on the abdominal wall.
A cylindrical APR was performed, along with excision of the sigmoid colon and resection of the anus. Should the excision of the sigmoid colon and resection of the anus be reported separately? Yes, the resections of the rectum and anus as well as the excision of the sigmoid colon are separately coded.
To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary (metastatic) sites should also be determined. Primary malignant neoplasms overlapping site boundaries

If you work for a surgeon specializing in colorectal procedures, chances are you have seen your fair share of ostomy takedown procedures. When you first start checking CPT for a code for a “takedown,” though, you may find yourself coming up empty. The reason for this is that surgeons use the term takedown in their operative reports while CPT uses the word “closure” in the codes that cover this procedure. Both terms really have the same meaning, but until you know about the difference in language you may see in reports verses what you will see in the CPT manual, the whole thing can be pretty confusing. So let’s breakdown the terminology and codes for an “ostomy takedown” and see how that looks in CPT so you can quickly choose the correct code.
We can confirm the definition of enterostomy by breaking the word down into its parts: entero- means “of or pertaining to the intestine” (this could refer to either the small or the large intestine) while -ostomy means “an artificial opening between two structures.”. So when we put these word parts together we have “an artificial opening between ...
We first see the physician enter the abdomen (a laparotomy is an incision into the abdomen), and he finds the “transverse colonic stump” (or the part of the intestine that was stapled off in the body during the prior surgery where the ostomy was created).
Once this was completed, a left mid quadrant colostomy was fashioned which was marked preoperatively by excising a disc of skin, deepening it down through the subcutaneous tissues, opening the fascia in a cruciate type fashion and then placing a Mayo scissors through the fibers of the rectus muscle and poking full-thickness through the abdominal wall. Once this was done, it was dilated 2 fingerbreadths. The bowel was brought through after some of the fat was removed to allow it to pass through, and left intact with an Allen clamp. The abdomen was copiously irrigated with saline solution. When hemostasis was deemed adequate, Seprafilm was inserted. The peritoneum and posterior sheath were closed with a running 2-0 Vicryl stitch, and then the anterior sheath was closed with interrupted #1 Dexon stitches after irrigation of the subcutaneous tissue. Once this was completed, the subcutaneous tissue was re-irrigated. Skin clips were applied, and then the colostomy was matured by excising the staple row, and suturing the full-thickness to the skin to the full-thickness of the bowel circumferentially with 3-0 chromic catgut stitches. It was completely viable and digitalized and completely patent.
In ICD-10-PCS, the root operation "Bypass," is defined as altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part. Bypass is coded when the objective of the procedure is to reroute the contents of a tubular body part. The range of "Bypass" procedures includes normal routes such as those made in coronary artery bypass procedures, and abnormal routes such as those made in colostomy formation procedures.
If so, I believe you can use sigmoid for the colostomy. Coding Clinic had info on this in 4th Qtr 2015. I have pasted the one regarding colostomy and APR below. A total of 4 codes are required.
A primary malignant neoplasm that overlaps two or more contiguous (next to each other) sites should be classified to the subcategory/code .8 ('overlapping lesion '), unless the combination is specifically indexed elsewhere. For multiple neoplasms of the same site that are not contiguous such as tumors in different quadrants of the same breast, codes for each site should be assigned.
When a primary malignancy has been excised but further treatment, such as an additional surgery for the malignancy, radiation therapy or chemotherapy is directed to that site, the primary malignancy code should be used until treatment is completed.
When a primary malignancy has been previously excised or eradicated from its site and there is no further treatment directed to that site and there is no evidence of any existing primary malignancy at that site, a code from category Z85, Personal history of malignant neoplasm, should be used to indicate the former site of the malignancy. Any mention of extension, invasion, or metastasis to another site is coded as a secondary malignant neoplasm to that site. The secondary site may be the principal or first-listed with the Z85 code used as a secondary code.
The neoplasm table in the Alphabetic Index should be referenced first. However, if the histological term is documented, that term should be referenced first, rather than going immediately to the Neoplasm Table, in order to determine which column in the Neoplasm Table is appropriate. Alphabetic Index to review the entries under this term and the instructional note to “see also neoplasm, by site, benign.” The table provides the proper code based on the type of neoplasm and the site. It is important to select the proper column in the table that corresponds to the type of neoplasm. The Tabular List should then be referenced to verify that the correct code has been selected from the table and that a more specific site code does not exist.
Chapter 2 of the ICD-10-CM contains the codes for most benign and all malignant neoplasms. Certain benign neoplasms , such as prostatic adenomas, may be found in the specific body system chapters. To properly code a neoplasm, it is necessary to determine from the record if the neoplasm is benign, in-situ, malignant, or of uncertain histologic behavior. If malignant, any secondary ( metastatic) sites should also be determined.
When a pregnant woman has a malignant neoplasm, a code from subcategory O9A.1 -, malignant neoplasm complicating pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium, should be sequenced first, followed by the appropriate code from Chapter 2 to indicate the type of neoplasm. Encounter for complication associated with a neoplasm.
When the reason for admission/encounter is to determine the extent of the malignancy, or for a procedure such as paracentesis or thoracentesis, the primary malignancy or appropriate metastatic site is designated as the principal or first-listed diagnosis, even though chemotherapy or radiotherapy is administered.
