But the codes would lead me to closure of rectovaginal fistula (57300 - 57308) and closure of rectovesical fistula (45800, 45805). Any suggestions? Every help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. you didn' t say how so look at 51900, 57320-57330, and 44660-44661 Click to expand...
Procedure: Robotic-assisted laparoscopic low anterior colon resection with take down and repair of colovaginal and colovesical fistula. Flexible sigmoidoscopy.
The standard treatment of colovesical fistula is removal of the fistula, suture of the bladder wall, and colic resection with or without temporary colostomy. The usual approach is open because the laparoscopic one has high conversion rates and morbidity.
Cases were identified from all cases coded with a CPT code of 44640 (enterocutaneous fistula) between December 1994 and December 2001.
A colovesical fistula is an open connection between the colon and bladder. A thick wall of tissue normally separates the two. Fecal matter from the colon can enter the bladder through this colovesical fistula, causing painful infections and other complications. Colovesical fistulas are uncommon.

ICD-10 code K63. 2 for Fistula of intestine is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Colovesical fistula is usually caused by chronic infection or cancer. Conditions that can lead to colovesical fistula include diverticulitis, colon cancer, Crohn's disease, and cancer that involves nearby organs.
The complication of colonic diverticulitis colovesical fistula is a relatively rare disease even in the West. The incidence of colovesical fistula in diverticular disease has been estimated to be approximately 2-4%, but has been reported to have a wide range between 2% and 23%.
A urinary fistula is an abnormal opening either within a urinary tract organ (such as the bladder) or an abnormal connection between a urinary tract organ and another organ (such as the colon).
A colectomy is an operation to remove part or all of your colon. It's also called colon resection surgery. You may need a colectomy if part or all of your colon has stopped working, or if it has an incurable condition that endangers other parts. Common reasons include colon cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases.

It could apply to an enterocolic fi stula (fistula between the small and large bowel), an enterocutaneous fistula (fistula between the small bowel and the skin), a rectovaginal fistula (fistula between the rectum and vagina), or any other abnormal fistulous connection that may be present in the body. It would only be appropriate to report ...
The fistulous tract between the bowel and bladder is severed . The bowel is clamped above and below the fistulous tract, transected, and the portion containing the fistulous tract removed. An end-to-end anastomosis is then used to reapproximate the bowel.
The sigmoid colon is located on the left side of the colon while the ascending colon is on the right so these are two separate anatomic locations in the colon. If you are a visual learner, check out this link with a picture of the anatomy of the colon to visualize where the surgeon is working: ...
A fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs/structures. Sometimes closing that abnormal connection requires removal of part of the organ (s) on either end of that abnormal connection. When this excision and repair of organs is needed to close the fistula, this work is included in the fistula repair code.
This additional work on the left side in the sigmoid colon is not part of the fistula repair – the sigmoid colon is not removed to facilitate repair of the fistula. So we get to report this work separately.
The excision of the small intestinal or colonic tissue shall not be reported separately . The lay description of CPT 44661 also includes the work of removing part of the organs into which the fistula passes and reconstructing those organs (which would include an anastomosis of the colon/rectum).
