Lysis of adhesions is a procedure that destroys scar tissue that's causing abdominal and chronic pelvic pain. The scar tissue typically forms after surgery as part of the healing process, but can also develop after an infection or a condition that causes inflammation, such as endometriosis.
An exploratory laparotomy is a laparotomy performed with the objective of obtaining information that is not available via clinical diagnostic methods. It is usually performed in patients with acute or unexplained abdominal pain, abdominal trauma, and occasionally, for staging in patients with malignancies.
A Code 58662 (laparoscopy, surgical; with fulguration or excision of lesions of the ovary, pelvic viscera, or peritoneal surface by any method) would cover the removal of the left ovarian excrescences, but does not capture the lysis of adhesions.

44180. Laparoscopy, surgical, enterolysis (freeing of intestinal adhesion) (separate procedure)
Likewise, people ask, what does lysis of adhesions mean? Lysis of adhesions is a surgery to cut bands of tissue that form between organs. These bands are called adhesions. They are often caused by scar tissue that formed after an earlier surgery.
Answer: No, 44005 enterolysis (freeing of adhesions) for an open procedure and 44180, laparoscopic enterolysis, are both designated as “separate procedures.”. They are considered integral to the primary procedure at the same anatomic site.
