Ask Dr. Z

Could you explain the coding for this case? "Bilateral groin incisions performed. The very large lymphoceles were drained. It was clear. It was not infectious. The patient then had fulguration with argon beam coagulator performed of the entire base. Excess skin was excised and again the argon beam coagulator was used to completely fulgurate the base of the lymphocele on both groins and again excessive skin was removed and talc was placed in both wounds and the wounds were closed tightly with PDS #1 in both groins and then 2-0 PDS was use to close the subcutaneous tightly. Skin was closed with interrupted 0 Prolene vertical mattress sutures with good approximation of skin edges."
