Her symptoms were refractory to conservative<\/p>\n<p>care. Her imaging studies revealed severe stenosis at L4-L5, relatively<\/p>\n<p>modest stenosis at ____ level. Given these findings, after a careful<\/p>\n<p>explanation of risks, benefits, likely outcome, the patient and family<\/p>\n<p>agreed to proceed with surgery.<\/p>\n<p>NARRATIVE: The patient was brought to the operating room. After suitable<\/p>\n<p>induction of general anesthetic, the patient was carefully positioned<\/p>\n<p>prone on the operative table. All pressure points were padded as<\/p>\n<p>confirmed by me and the anesthesia team. Using surface landmarks and a C-<\/p>\n<p>arm, the incision was planned. The patient was prepped and draped in the<\/p>\n<p>usual sterile fashion. After infiltration of local anesthetic, incision<\/p>\n<p>was made with a #10 blade. Hemostasis was obtained with Bovie<\/p>\n<p>cauterization. The incision was carried down to the level of the lumbar<\/p>\n<p>dorsal fascia. Ligamentous muscular attachments were elevated at the L4-5<\/p>\n<p>region. X-ray once again confirmed our position.<\/p>\n<p>Leksell rongeur was then used to remove the spinous processes and portion<\/p>\n<p>of the lamina.<\/p>\n<p>The operative microscope was brought into the field. High speed drill was<\/p>\n<p>then used to thin the lamina. A curet was used to then separate the<\/p>\n<p>lamina from the ligamentum flavum. With that complete, the remainder of<\/p>\n<p>the bone was removed.<\/p>\n<p>With careful dissection, I was able to then dissect the ligamentum flavum<\/p>\n<p>from the dura. There is perhaps a small fenestration was made in the<\/p>\n<p>dura. This was closed with interrupted 4-0 Nurolon. The facet joints were<\/p>\n<p>undercut laterally on both sides. The remainder of the ligament was also<\/p>\n<p>removed.<\/p>\n<p>Once I was satisfied that the decompression was adequate, the seal was<\/p>\n<p>placed over the area where the suture had been placed. The Duragen was<\/p>\n<p>also placed prior to placement of the Tisseel sealant.<\/p>\n<p>The wound was closed with multiple layers of Vicryl followed by a running<\/p>\n<p>locking Prolene.<\/p>\n<p>The patient tolerated the procedure well.<\/p>\n<p>Sponge and instrument counts were correct at the end of the case.<\/p>\n<p>Of note, at the end of the case, the neural monitoring unit had placed<\/p>\n<p>its leads.

Please note, Mr. Helper was medically<\/p>\n<p>necessary for this patient to help position the patient, to help hold<\/p>\n<p>retractors during the procedure, to help reduce the fracture and to<\/p>\n<p>Help with wound closure.<\/p>\n<p>ANESTHESIA: General endotracheal anesthesia.<\/p>\n<p>ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: 250 mL.<\/p>\n<p>COMPLICATIONS: None.<\/p>\n<p>DISPOSITION: The patient was successfully awakened and extubated in the<\/p>\n<p>operating room and returned to the postanesthesia care unit in stable<\/p>\n<p>condition.<\/p>\n<p>BRIEF PREOPERATIVE NOTE: The patient is a 63-year-old gentleman who was<\/p>\n<p>riding his bicycle when he had a terrible accident, landing directly onto<\/p>\n<p>his left hip. He sustained a comminuted complex proximal femur fracture<\/p>\n<p>which was also complicated by the fact that he was on anticoagulants and<\/p>\n<p>his INR was 3.38. Upon presentation to the hospital. Overnight, he was<\/p>\n<p>given vitamin K and prior to surgery given FFP to get him to a more<\/p>\n<p>normalized INR. The risks and benefits of this procedure were explained<\/p>\n<p>to the patient. The patient asked appropriate questions. After all<\/p>\n<p>appropriate questions were answered, informed consent was obtained and<\/p>\n<p>placed on the chart. At this time, the patient did agree to proceed to<\/p>\n<p>the operating room for the above listed operative procedure.<\/p>\n<p>BRIEF OPERATIVE NOTE: The patient was brought to the operating room,<\/p>\n<p>first in his hospital bed general anesthesia was administered. Next, the<\/p>\n<p>patient was transferred to the fracture table where the endotracheal tube<\/p>\n<p>was in placed under the general anesthetic at that time. The left lower<\/p>\n<p>extremity was placed into a well padded longitudinal traction and the<\/p>\n<p>right lower extremity was placed into a well padded, well leg holder.<\/p>\n<p>Next, image intensifier was brought into the field to ensure that we<\/p>\n<p>could get adequate closed reduction. After significant traction,<\/p>\n<p>adduction and internal rotation of the leg, we were able to get an<\/p>\n<p>adequate reduction. Next, the left lower extremity was prepped and draped<\/p>\n<p>in the usual orthopedic sterile fashion. Next, a 3.2 mm guidewire for the<\/p>\n<p>trochanteric fixation nail was then passed in an intramedullary position.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the opening awl was passed without complication. Next, a ball<\/p>\n<p>tipped guidewire was passed into the canal and measured to the distal<\/p>\n<p>femur 460, but we placed a 420 mm trochanteric fixation nail with a 130<\/p>\n<p>degree helical blade setting. Next, the nail was passed without<\/p>\n<p>complication. Next, the outrigger was placed for placement of the helical<\/p>\n<p>blade. Guide pin was passed for the helical blade in a center-center<\/p>\n<p>position into the femoral neck and head measured a 105 mm. The outer<\/p>\n<p>lateral cortex was drilled without complication, then the triple reamer<\/p>\n<p>10 | Page<\/p>\n<p>was passed. Next, the 105 mm helical blade was passed without<\/p>\n<p>complication and locked into position. Next, the outrigger was removed.<\/p>\n<p>Orthogonal x-rays showed near anatomic alignment of the proximal femur.<\/p>\n<p>Next, attention was then paid distally to the distal femur for perfect<\/p>\n<p>circles and one 5.0, 52 mm locking bolt was then placed without<\/p>\n<p>complication. Again, orthogonal x-rays showed near anatomic alignment of<\/p>\n<p>the proximal femur, no evidence of hardware failure. At this time, all<\/p>\n<p>wounds were thoroughly irrigated with bacitracin-laden normal saline.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the deep layer was closed with a #1 Vicryl in an interrupted<\/p>\n<p>fashion. The wound was infiltrated with 30 mL of 0.5% Marcaine without<\/p>\n<p>epinephrine. The deep subcuticular layer was closed with an 0 Vicryl,<\/p>\n<p>skin reapproximated with 2-0 Vicryl and then skin staples. Next, sterile<\/p>\n<p>dressings were applied.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the patient was taken out of traction and returned to the hospital<\/p>\n<p>bed. General endotracheal anesthesia was terminated. The patient<\/p>\n<p>tolerated the procedure without complication, was successfully awakened<\/p>\n<p>and extubated in the operating room, returned to the postanesthesia care<\/p>\n<p>unit in stable condition.<\/p>\n<p>DICTATED BY: Shesa Doctor, MD<\/p>\n<p>ICD-10 Code(s): ____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>CPT Code(s): _____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Comments:<\/p>\n<p>Coding Quiz Operative Report 3:<\/p>\n<p>11 | Page<\/p>\n<p>DATE OF PROCEDURE: 07\/14\/2017<\/p>\n<p>SURGEON: Fixer Upper, MD.<\/p>\n<p>FIRST HelpANT: None.<\/p>\n<p>PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:<\/p>\n<p>1. Symptomatic asymmetrical mammary hypertrophy.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cervicalgia.<\/p>\n<p>3. Thoracic pain.<\/p>\n<p>POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Same.<\/p>\n<p>OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: Bilateral reduction mammoplasty.<\/p>\n<p>INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY: The patient is a 66-year-old female who requests<\/p>\n<p>reduction mammoplasty for symptoms related to large and heavy breasts.<\/p>\n<p>The patient has nod only severe tilt of the shoulder with the right<\/p>\n<p>breast larger and lower, but has bra strap grooves. The size is<\/p>\n<p>consistent with a 38 G to H size. She has rounded forward anterior<\/p>\n<p>displaced shoulders, large pendulous ptotic asymmetrical breasts, bra<\/p>\n<p>strap grooves and nonfocal, tightness and tenderness in the trapezius,<\/p>\n<p>interscapular and paraspinal musculature. The patient requests reduction<\/p>\n<p>mammoplasty in an attempt to improve symptoms from large and heavy<\/p>\n<p>breasts.<\/p>\n<p>PROCEDURE: Markings made preoperatively for a medial pedicle vertical<\/p>\n<p>type reduction mammoplasty accounting for the dyssymmetry. The patient<\/p>\n<p>taken to the operating room, placed on the operating table in the supine<\/p>\n<p>position. All bony prominences were well padded. PAS stockings were in<\/p>\n<p>place and functioning. General anesthesia was induced bilateral upper<\/p>\n<p>extremities were abducted to under 80 degrees on arm boards. Prepping and<\/p>\n<p>draping was performed in a sterile fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Of note, the patient has severe compromised skin envelope with striate<\/p>\n<p>and severe ptosis. Stab incision was made in the area of intended<\/p>\n<p>vertical excision and using a blunt infiltration cannula on each side 500<\/p>\n<p>mL of 0.03% lidocaine with adrenalin 1:1 million was infiltrated on each<\/p>\n<p>side. The operation was performed similarly on each side. First,<\/p>\n<p>attention was directed to the right side after adequate epinephrine<\/p>\n<p>effect, a 45 mm areola was incised. De-epithelization of the medial<\/p>\n<p>pedicle was performed. Incision was made in the upper keyhole in vertical<\/p>\n<p>area, keeping the lower extent of excision 4 cm up from the inframammary<\/p>\n<p>fold. Composite resection was performed after isolating the pedicle by<\/p>\n<p>sharp dissection and adequate at least 2 cm vertical pillars were<\/p>\n<p>Coding Quiz Operative Report 3:<\/p>\n<p>preserved and further resection laterally was performed removing on the<\/p>\n<p>right side 716 grams. Meticulous hemostasis obtained with<\/p>\n<p>electrocauterization. Irrigation was performed with saline. The vertical<\/p>\n<p>pillars repaired with #1 Vicryl sutures. The vertical closure for 8 cm<\/p>\n<p>was performed using gathering 4-0 Monocryl deep dermal sutures, running<\/p>\n<p>12 | Page<\/p>\n<p>subcuticular 3-0 V-Loc suture. The nipple areolar complex was sutured to<\/p>\n<p>surrounding flaps using interrupted simple 4-0 Monocryl for the deep<\/p>\n<p>dermis, running subcuticular 4-0 Monocryl for the skin. Because of severe<\/p>\n<p>skin envelope laxity, the patient&#8217;s body habitus, was necessary to<\/p>\n<p>perform dog ear excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue in the neo-<\/p>\n<p>inframammary fold for contouring purposes. Closure in this area, after<\/p>\n<p>hemostasis obtained with electrocauterization was accomplished using<\/p>\n<p>interrupted 3-0 Vicryl to deep dermis, running subcuticular 3-0 V-Loc<\/p>\n<p>Monocryl for the skin. Next, attention was directed to the left side<\/p>\n<p>where resection of 757 grams was performed, hemostasis obtained with<\/p>\n<p>electrocauterization, closure and dog ear excision was performed in a<\/p>\n<p>similar fashion. The patient&#8217;s areola to neo-inframammary fold was 8 cm<\/p>\n<p>on each side with symmetrical mounds created. Specimen was sent to<\/p>\n<p>pathology. After completion of bilateral reductions, the wounds were<\/p>\n<p>dressed with Dermabond and Tegaderm. General anesthesia was then<\/p>\n<p>terminated. The patient went to the recovery room in stable condition.<\/p>\n<p>There were no complications. Sponge and instrument counts correct.<\/p>\n<p>Estimated blood loss was minimal.
