Mar 17, 2021 · Answer: For encounters with your surgeon following the Whipple procedure, you’ll need to code the cancer as C25.0 (Malignant neoplasm of head of pancreas). Although the cancer was surgically removed, the patient is in ongoing treatment using chemotherapy and radiation therapy, so you should not use the personal history code.

A chronic systemic infection by a gram-positive bacterium, tropheryma whippelii, mainly affecting the small intestine but also the joints; cardiovascular system; and the central nervous system.

A systemic infection caused by the gram-positive bacterium tropheryma whipplei. It affects the small intestine resulting in malabsorption. Other sites or systems affected by the infection are the joints, central nervous system, and the cardiovascular system.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is characterized by severe peptic ulcer disease that results from non-beta islet cell tumors, gastrinomas, of the gastrointestinal tract. The mean age at presentation is 45 to 50 years, and men are affected more often than women.
Schindl and colleagues (2018) stated that the potential for a fibrin sealant patch to reduce the risk of post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains uncertain. In a multi-center study, these researchers examined if a fibrin sealant patch is able to reduce POPF in patients undergoing PD with pancreatojejunostomy. Subjects undergoing PD were randomized to receive either a fibrin patch (patch group) or no patch (control group), and stratified by gland texture, pancreatic duct size and neoadjuvant treatment. The primary end-point was POPF; secondary end-points included complications, drain-related factors and LOS. Risk factors for POPF were identified by logistic regression analysis. A total of 142 patients were enrolled; 45 of 71 patients (63 %) in the patch group and 40 of 71 (56 %) in the control group developed biochemical leakage or POPF (p = 0.392). Fistulas were classified as grade B or C in 16 (23 %) and 10 (14 %) patients, respectively (p = 0.277). There were no differences in post-operative complications (54 patients in patch group and 50 in control group; p = 0.839), drain amylase concentration (p = 0.494), time until drain removal (mean (S.D.) 11.6 (1.0) versus 13.3 (1.3) days; p = 0.613), fistula closure (17.6 (2.2) versus 16.5 (2.1) days; p = 0.740) and LOS (22.1 (2.2) versus 18.2 (0.9) days; p = 0.810) between the 2 groups. Multi-variable logistic regression analysis confirmed that obesity (OR 5.28, 95 % CI: 1.20 to 23.18; p = 0.027), soft gland texture (OR 9.86, 95 % CI: 3.41 to 28.54; p < 0.001) and a small duct (OR 5.50, 1.84 to 16.44; p = 0.002) were significant risk factors for POPF. A patch did not reduce the incidence of POPF in patients at higher risk. The authors concluded that the use of a fibrin sealant patch did not reduce the occurrence of POPF and complications after PD with pancreatojejunostomy.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is characterized by severe peptic ulcer disease that results from non-beta islet cell tumors, gastrinomas, of the gastrointestinal tract. The mean age at presentation is 45 to 50 years, and men are affected more often than women. Gastrinomas can be subdivided into tumors that are sporadic, constituting about 75 % of patients with ZES, and those that are genetically transmitted and associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1), constituting about 25 % of patients with ZES. Zollinger-Ellison tumors associated with MEN-1 occur at an earlier age than the sporadic tumors and have been characterized by some researchers to follow a more benign course.
Codes 48150 and 48152 describe the standard Whipple procedures, with partial pancreatectomy (subtotal), total removal of the duodenum, partial removal of the stomach, and anastomosis of the bile duct to the intestines and the stomach to the jejunum. Code 48150 includes anastomosis of the pancreatic ducts with the jejunum (pancreatojejunostomy)—48152 does not include this repair.
Code 48150 includes anastomosis of the pancreatic ducts with the jejunum (pancreatojejunostomy)—48152 does not include this repair. Codes 48153 and 48154 describe the same procedures, by pylorus-sparing technique. The pylorus-sparing pancreaticoduodenectomy is the procedure performed more often.
A pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, or Whipple, is a surgical procedure involving the pancreas, intestines, and other organs. It is usually performed to treat malignancies on the head of the pancreas, common bile duct, or duodenum (which are near the pancreas) but also may be performed in abdominal trauma cases involving ...
