ICD-9-CM Vol. 3 Procedure Codes - 54.51 - Laparoscopic lysis of peritoneal adhesions. Code Information. 54.51 - Laparoscopic lysis of peritoneal adhesions. The above description is abbreviated.

5. Laparoscopic lysis of adhesions (CPT codes 44180 or 58660) is not separately reportable with other surgical laparoscopic procedures.
Lysis of adhesions are mostly included in the laparoscopic procedure. The adhesion sometimes increases the physician work.
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.
