Evacuation of Hemoperitoneum
Patient underwent: Laparoscopy with evacuation of hemoperitoneum post laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Preop diag: bleeding status post laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Operative findings: The patient had some blood clots in the right upper quadrant, but no active bleeding in the gallbladder fossa and no evidence of active bleeding in the omentum or the tracar sites or anywhere else. Did see an old India ink injection in the sigmoid colon where he had had a suspicious polyp in the past, but apparently Mayo clinic did not think that he needed a colon resection and the polypectomy was adequate.
I was looking at 49002 because he had to reopen a recent laparotomy, but not quite sure? Just need to know if I'm headed in the right direction?
