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 colostomy reversal, also known as a colostomy takedown, is a reversal of the colostomy process by which the colon is reattached by anastomosis to the rectum or anus, providing for the reestablishment of flow of waste through the gastrointestinal tract. Colostomy reversal, colostomy takedown.
A colostomy is an operation to divert 1 end of the colon (part of the bowel) through an opening in the tummy. The opening is called a stoma. A pouch can be placed over the stoma to collect your poo (stools). A colostomy can be permanent or temporary.
Cecostomy decompresses the large bowel, but cecostomy tubes often leak and are difficult to take care of at home; they should be used only if colostomy cannot be done for technical reasons. It is common to place these tubes at the time of the laparotomy when diversion, resection, or colostomy cannot be done.

Stoma reversal surgery involves rejoining the piece of bowel that is your stoma with either your colon or your small bowel and then closing the stoma site. Both a colostomy reversal and an ileostomy reversal are performed in the same manner.
Laparoscopic colostomy reversal is surgery to remove your stoma and reconnect your colon. It is also called a colostomy takedown.
Possible Complications Many surgeries to undo a colostomy or ileostomy are fairly simple. But the closure is more difficult and the recovery longer if all or much of your colon is gone or not working. Reversal surgery may lead to problems such as: Temporary bowel paralysis.
During a revision procedure, a malfunctioning or displaced device is corrected. A portion of the device may be removed and replaced in a revision procedure, but a revision procedure will never involve the entire device. If the entire device is redone, the original root operation being performed should be coded.
Replacement: putting in or on biological or synthetic material that physically takes the place and/or function of all or a portion of a body part. Removal: taking out or off a device from a body part. Revision: Correcting to the extent possible a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.
In a replacement procedure, the objective is to replace the body part or a portion of the body part. This seems pretty straightforward. A caveat to remember is that if the code for replacement is assigned, the replacement code also captures the removal of the body part being replaced, and as such the removal or excision ...
Based on theory, it would seem that ICD-10-PCS root operations could be assigned correctly with relative ease; however, practical application sometimes intersects with coding scenarios that make one question the selection of the appropriate root operation.
