Ask Dr. Z

What CPT code is used for sartorius muscle mobilization? Should this be coded with 15738 and 14020 or is it bundled into redo fem-fem bypass? "The right groin incision was debrided, removing all necrotic tissue, and the sartorius muscle was freed up on the anterior aspect, allowing for transposition of the sartorius muscle over the anastomosis. The muscle was not transected at the anterior superior iliac spine as one would for complete flap coverage. This wound was then closed in multiple layers with the necrotic skin and soft tissue removed, leaving a small open wound along the prior suture line. A wound VAC was placed, allowing for complete coverage of the wound. Wound VAC in a hockey stick configuration measured 10 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter."
