Assign the ICD 10 CM codes and modifiers if necessary.
Medical Record #210987 Coder Assigned: CFT Patient Name: John Smith Date of Service: 10/21/16 DIAGNOSIS: T12-L1 fracture dislocation. OPERATIONS: 1. Left thoracoabdominal exposure, T11-L1. 2. Resection left 10th rib. 3. Placement of chest tube (Blake drain). ANESTHESIA: General with ET tube. PROCEDURE: Patient was brought to the operating room, positioned supine. General anesthesia was induced. Patient was then placed into the lateral decubitus position with the left side up.An incision was made in oblique fashion overlying the 10th rib and taken down onto the abdominal wall. The musculature was divided with electrocautery and the 10th rib was resected subperiosteally. The pleural cavity was entered under direct vision and the lung was packed away. The abdominal wall musculature was then divided allowing entry into the extraperitoneal space. The visceral sac was mobilized and retracted medially. The diaphragm was taken down circumferentially. The pleura was incised and intercostals to the lower thoracic vertebrae were clamped, divided and ligated. Additional diaphragmatic attachments were taken down as were several segmental levels allowing visualization down to L1. The anterior and lateral aspect of the spine was then exposed from T11-L2. The area of the fracture dislocation was obvious. At this time Neurosurgery performed their portion of the procedure. On completion of the neurosurgical portion, hemostasis was checked and found to be adequate though there was some venous oozing from the bone edges. The diaphragm was closed with interrupted #1 Polysorb suture. The pleura was closed with a 3-0 Polysorb suture. A 24 Blake drained was placed into the pleural cavity and secured at the skin with a 2-0 nylon. The ribs were then approximated with several #1 Polysorb pericostal sutures with the suture placed through a drill hole. The chest and abdominal wall musculature was then closed in layers using Polysorb suture. The subcutaneous tissue was closed with a running 3-0 Polysorb and skin with a 4-0 Biosyn subcuticular stitch.
