28 Οκτ 2004 · Code 44625 describes takedown of the colostomy and the re-approximation of the bowel ends, whereas 44340 describes only takedown of the colostomy. You would use 44625 when an end colostomy is taken down and requires that the surgeon re-establish the continuity of the colon.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the code used for this procedure? I have researched and cannot find anything telling me what code to use. If the procedure...

Reversal of temporary stomas is associated with significant complications, which can be minimizing by optimizing timing of closure and evaluating anastomotic integrity prior to stoma closure. A variety of techniques have been described to limit the morbidity of ileostomy and colostomy reversal.
Laparoscopic Hartmann procedure reversal (LHPR) is a challenging operation involving the closure of a colostomy following formation of colorectal anastomosis. In most instances, the purpose...
