45.73 Open and other right hemicolectomy ICD-9-CM Vol. 3 Procedure Codes 45.73 - Open and other right hemicolectomy The above description is abbreviated.
The following are the main types of open right hemicolectomy: Right hemicolectomy in one stage, with end-to-end anastomosis by the open and closed techniques. Modified Mikulicz procedure for carcinoma of the right colon. Two-stage right hemicolectomy - First stage, lateral or end-to-side ileocolostomy; second stage, right hemicolectomy.
46.04 is a specific code and is valid to identify a procedure. 2012 ICD-9-CM Procedure Code 46.1 Colostomy A child code below 46.1 with greater detail should be used.
Indications for open right hemicolectomy include numerous benign and malignant conditions. The most common malignant condition is adenocarcinoma of the right colon; other malignant indications are malignant tumors of the appendix and cecum.
Open right hemicolectomy (open right colectomy) is a procedure that involves removing the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure (where the ascending colon joins the transverse colon), the first third of the transverse colon, and part of the terminal ileum, along with fat and lymph nodes.
44160 is the correct code for a “standard right hemicolectomy,” which normally includes the removal of the ileum and the formation of an ileocolostomy.
The answer: “You should report CPT code 44146 (see Table 1).
Extended right hemicolectomy refers to extension of the distal resection margin to include the distal transverse colon up to the splenic flexure. The techniques used to perform right and extended right colectomy are reviewed here.
So for a right colectomy or right hemicolectomy the proper code is 44160. A left colectomy is either a true "left hemicolectomy" or sigmoid colectomy which would be code 44140.
Total colectomy involves removing the entire colon. Partial colectomy involves removing part of the colon and may also be called subtotal colectomy. Hemicolectomy involves removing the right or left portion of the colon.
44146You should report CPT code 44146 (see Table 1). Although the CPT descriptor includes the term “colostomy,” the Medicare physician fee schedule work relative value unit (RVU) for this code is based on creation of either a colostomy or an ileostomy.

Patients who underwent a right-sided colectomy were defined as those patients who had a partial colectomy with ileocolic anastomosis (CPT code 44160 or 44205) and had an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis code for malignancy of the cecum (153.4), ascending colon (153.6), or hepatic ...
In the case that your surgeon can't rejoin your colon to another part of your digestive tract, they may join your colon to your abdominal skin. This is called a stoma, and you may need to wear a bag on your abdomen to store your waste after the surgery.
A right hemicolectomy (right colectomy) for benign disease involves the resection of the terminal ileum, right colon, and proximal transverse colon followed by ileocolic anastomosis.
About laparoscopic right hemicolectomy It is an operation to surgically remove the right side of the colon, including the caecum (and attached appendix if still present) and a variable length of ascending colon. It is sometimes necessary to also remove the first part of the transverse colon.
Open right hemicolectomy (open right colectomy) is a procedure that involves removing the cecum, the ascending colon, the hepatic flexure (where the ascending colon joins the transverse colon), the first third of the transverse colon, and part of the terminal ileum, along with fat and lymph nodes. [ 1] . It is the standard surgical treatment ...
In order to plan an operation for a patient with colon cancer, the surgeon must have a thorough understanding of the tumor's location in the bowel, the stage of the cancer, and the patient's physiologic status.
Kohler performed the second successful resection and anastomosis. Paul and Mikulicz performed exteriorization-resection of carcinoma of the colon. The following are the main types of open right hemicolectomy: Right hemicolectomy in one stage, with end-to-end anastomosis by the open and closed techniques.
The colon is a 5- to 6-ft-long part of the large intestine (lower gastrointestinal tract) that is shaped like a U. Embryologically, it develops partly from the midgut (ascending colon to proximal transverse colon) and partly from the hindgut (distal transverse colon to sigmoid colon). The ascending (right) colon lies vertically in ...
The authors concluded that laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was safe and oncologically adequate as compared with open right hemicolectomy.
A laparoscopic colectomy is performed with most of the procedure completed intracorporeally, including, but not limited to , a diagnostic laparoscopy, mobilization of the intestine , vascular ligation, and bowel transection . This work is followed by either an extension of a trocar site incision or creation of a separate small incision for extraction of the specimen and/or extracorporeal creation of an anastomosis based on surgeon preference. After an extracorporeal anastomosis, the colon is returned to the abdomen, the extraction site is closed, pneumoperitoneum is reestablished, and the remainder of the procedure is performed laparoscopically, including final irrigation and inspection.
Colectomy codes are identified as either open or laparoscopic. The ACS, ASCRS, and SAGES agree that the procedures described as open in the CPT code set have always clearly meant that a laparotomy was performed and that the procedures described as laparoscopic have always clearly meant that the beginning, end, and most or all ...
Coders have referenced each of these ICD-10-PCS approaches to claim that laparoscopic abdominal procedures that include a minor incision for hand-assistance laparoscopy (HAL) or for extraction or exteriorization of the bowel should be coded as an open procedure. This coding approach is incorrect even in comparison with ICD-10-PCS, which defines an “open” procedure as “cutting through the skin and mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure.” The extension of the trocar incision or a separate small incision to exteriorize the bowel is not an open dissection that exposes the site of the procedure—the abdominal cavity. The minor incision does not allow exposure of the abdominal cavity for the laparoscopic diagnostic examination, mobilization of the intestine, vascular ligation, and final irrigation and inspection.
