Is a laminectomy the same as a spinal fusion?

Laminectomy (removal of lamina bone) and diskectomy (removing damaged disk tissue) are both types of spinal decompression surgery. Your provider may perform a diskectomy or other techniques (such as joining two vertebrae, called spinal fusion) during a laminectomy procedure.Jan 11, 2021

What is spinal fusion surgery for?

Spinal fusion permanently connects two or more vertebrae in your spine to improve stability, correct a deformity or reduce pain. Your doctor may recommend spinal fusion to treat: Deformities of the spine. Spinal fusion can help correct spinal deformities, such as a sideways curvature of the spine (scoliosis).

Is a kyphoplasty a fusion?

The goal of the surgery is to fuse and repair the fracture, eliminate back pain, and restore posture and ease of movement. The most common surgical procedures for spinal compression fractures are lumbar fusion and vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. In a lumbar fusion, the vertebrae are connected with rods.

What causes pain in the back when you have a spinal cord?

Bone changes that come with age, such as spinal stenosis and herniated disks. Spinal diseases often cause pain when bone changes put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. They can also limit movement. Treatments differ by disease, but sometimes they include back braces and surgery.

What are the different types of ankylosis?

The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Lumbar spine ankylosis 2 Thoracolumbar ankylosis

Why do vertebrae hurt?

They include. Spinal diseases often cause pain when bone changes put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

What is the GEM crosswalk?

The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code M43.26 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

What is a nonautologous tissue substitute?

Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver. Synthetic Substitute (J)—examples include demineralized bone matrix, synthetic bone graft extenders, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) Combinations of devices and materials are often used on a vertebral joint during a spinal fusion.

What is the body part character?

Body Part: The body part character reflects the level of the vertebrae (cervical, thoracic, lumbar and/or sacral) and the number of vertebral joints fused. The intervertebral joint is the space that is located between any two adjacent vertebrae. One factor in determining the number of fusion codes to assign is how many levels were fused. For example, a L2-L5 anterior fusion requires the assignment of only one fusion code with the body part being 1. However, a L2-S1 anterior fusion requires two fusion codes with one code being assigned the body part of 1 and the other code being assigned the body part of 3 (see Figure 2 below).

Can bone grafts be harvested locally?

Bone grafts may be harvested locally using the same incision, or from another part of the body requiring a separate incision. Harvesting of the bone requires a separate procedure code when it is performed through a separate incision. Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver.

How many vertebrae are in the spinal column?

Level (s) of the spinal column and number being fused: As you can see in the picture below, the human vertebral column consists of 33 vertebrae divided into five regions: When reviewing the operative note, look for what level (s) are being fused together. A level involves two vertebrae and the space between them (interspace) containing the disc.

What are the two regions of the vertebrae that are fused together?

This is because the fusion includes two regions within the vertebrae (lumbar and lumbosacral). As above, this is only two vertebral joints being fused together but of two different regions (lumbar and lumbosacral).

Is a lumbar fusion counted as one level?

When the surgeon documents that a fusion consisted of only two vertebrae and they are of the same level (such as lumbar) then this is counted as only one level. However, in the same procedure if the surgeon also performs a fusion of another level (such as sacrum), this part of the fusion would also need to be reported.

What is required to achieve correct coding assignment for spinal fusion?

An understanding of spinal anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, and surgical descriptions included in operativereports is required to achieve correct coding assignment for spinal fusions. Fortunately, there are certain clues andhelpful guidelines we’ve discovered to help coders know what to look for and how to interpret the content.

What is the first thing we look for in an operative report?

If the patient is supine (face-up), the surgeon is likely using an anterior approach. If the patient is prone (face-down), the surgeon is likely using aposterior approach. Note that the approach doesn’t necessarily indicate the column the surgeon is working on.
