Her symptoms were refractory to conservativecare. Her imaging studies revealed severe stenosis at L4-L5, relativelymodest stenosis at ____ level. Given these findings, after a carefulexplanation of risks, benefits, likely outcome, the patient and familyagreed to proceed with surgery.NARRATIVE: The patient was brought to the operating room. After suitableinduction of general anesthetic, the patient was carefully positionedprone on the operative table. All pressure points were padded asconfirmed by me and the anesthesia team. Using surface landmarks and a C-arm, the incision was planned. The patient was prepped and draped in theusual sterile fashion. After infiltration of local anesthetic, incisionwas made with a #10 blade. Hemostasis was obtained with Boviecauterization. The incision was carried down to the level of the lumbardorsal fascia. Ligamentous muscular attachments were elevated at the L4-5region. X-ray once again confirmed our position.Leksell rongeur was then used to remove the spinous processes and portionof the lamina.The operative microscope was brought into the field. High speed drill wasthen used to thin the lamina. A curet was used to then separate thelamina from the ligamentum flavum. With that complete, the remainder ofthe bone was removed.With careful dissection, I was able to then dissect the ligamentum flavumfrom the dura. There is perhaps a small fenestration was made in thedura. This was closed with interrupted 4-0 Nurolon. The facet joints wereundercut laterally on both sides. The remainder of the ligament was alsoremoved.Once I was satisfied that the decompression was adequate, the seal wasplaced over the area where the suture had been placed. The Duragen wasalso placed prior to placement of the Tisseel sealant.The wound was closed with multiple layers of Vicryl followed by a runninglocking Prolene.The patient tolerated the procedure well.Sponge and instrument counts were correct at the end of the case.Of note, at the end of the case, the neural monitoring unit had placedits leads. There were no untoward findings with the neuromonitoring.8 | PageThe patient tolerated the procedure well, was turned over to anesthesiafor awakening.DICTATED BY: Ima Neurosurgeon, MDICD-10 Code(s): ____________________________________________________CPT Code(s): _____________________________________________________Comments:9 | PageCoding Quiz Operative Report 2:DATE OF PROCEDURE: 07/07/2017PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Left subtrochanteric femur fracture.POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Same.PROCEDURE: Intramedullary nailing of left subtrochanteric femur fracture.SURGEON: Shesa Doctor, MD.ASSISTANT: Hesher Helper, MD. Please note, Mr. Helper was medicallynecessary for this patient to help position the patient, to help holdretractors during the procedure, to help reduce the fracture and toassist with wound closure.ANESTHESIA: General endotracheal anesthesia.ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS: 250 mL.COMPLICATIONS: None.DISPOSITION: The patient was successfully awakened and extubated in theoperating room and returned to the postanesthesia care unit in stablecondition.BRIEF PREOPERATIVE NOTE: The patient is a 63-year-old gentleman who wasriding his bicycle when he had a terrible accident, landing directly ontohis left hip. He sustained a comminuted complex proximal femur fracturewhich was also complicated by the fact that he was on anticoagulants andhis INR was 3.38. Upon presentation to the hospital. Overnight, he wasgiven vitamin K and prior to surgery given FFP to get him to a morenormalized INR. The risks and benefits of this procedure were explainedto the patient. The patient asked appropriate questions. After allappropriate questions were answered, informed consent was obtained andplaced on the chart. At this time, the patient did agree to proceed tothe operating room for the above listed operative procedure.BRIEF OPERATIVE NOTE: The patient was brought to the operating room,first in his hospital bed general anesthesia was administered. Next, thepatient was transferred to the fracture table where the endotracheal tubewas in placed under the general anesthetic at that time. The left lowerextremity was placed into a well padded longitudinal traction and theright lower extremity was placed into a well padded, well leg holder.Next, image intensifier was brought into the field to ensure that wecould get adequate closed reduction. After significant traction,adduction and internal rotation of the leg, we were able to get anadequate reduction. Next, the left lower extremity was prepped and drapedin the usual orthopedic sterile fashion. Next, a 3.2 mm guidewire for thetrochanteric fixation nail was then passed in an intramedullary position.Next, the opening awl was passed without complication. Next, a balltipped guidewire was passed into the canal and measured to the distalfemur 460, but we placed a 420 mm trochanteric fixation nail with a 130degree helical blade setting. Next, the nail was passed withoutcomplication. Next, the outrigger was placed for placement of the helicalblade. Guide pin was passed for the helical blade in a center-centerposition into the femoral neck and head measured a 105 mm. The outerlateral cortex was drilled without complication, then the triple reamer10 | Pagewas passed. Next, the 105 mm helical blade was passed withoutcomplication and locked into position. Next, the outrigger was removed.Orthogonal x-rays showed near anatomic alignment of the proximal femur.Next, attention was then paid distally to the distal femur for perfectcircles and one 5.0, 52 mm locking bolt was then placed withoutcomplication. Again, orthogonal x-rays showed near anatomic alignment ofthe proximal femur, no evidence of hardware failure. At this time, allwounds were thoroughly irrigated with bacitracin-laden normal saline.Next, the deep layer was closed with a #1 Vicryl in an interruptedfashion. The wound was infiltrated with 30 mL of 0.5% Marcaine withoutepinephrine. The deep subcuticular layer was closed with an 0 Vicryl,skin reapproximated with 2-0 Vicryl and then skin staples. Next, steriledressings were applied.Next, the patient was taken out of traction and returned to the hospitalbed. General endotracheal anesthesia was terminated. The patienttolerated the procedure without complication, was successfully awakenedand extubated in the operating room, returned to the postanesthesia careunit in stable condition.DICTATED BY: Shesa Doctor, MDICD-10 Code(s): ____________________________________________________CPT Code(s): _____________________________________________________Comments:Coding Quiz Operative Report 3:11 | PageDATE OF PROCEDURE: 07/14/2017SURGEON: Fixer Upper, MD.FIRST ASSISTANT: None.PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:1. Symptomatic asymmetrical mammary hypertrophy.2. Cervicalgia.3. Thoracic pain.POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Same.OPERATIVE PROCEDURE: Bilateral reduction mammoplasty.INDICATIONS FOR SURGERY: The patient is a 66-year-old female who requestsreduction mammoplasty for symptoms related to large and heavy breasts.The patient has nod only severe tilt of the shoulder with the rightbreast larger and lower, but has bra strap grooves. The size isconsistent with a 38 G to H size. She has rounded forward anteriordisplaced shoulders, large pendulous ptotic asymmetrical breasts, brastrap grooves and nonfocal, tightness and tenderness in the trapezius,interscapular and paraspinal musculature. The patient requests reductionmammoplasty in an attempt to improve symptoms from large and heavybreasts.PROCEDURE: Markings made preoperatively for a medial pedicle verticaltype reduction mammoplasty accounting for the dyssymmetry. The patienttaken to the operating room, placed on the operating table in the supineposition. All bony prominences were well padded. PAS stockings were inplace and functioning. General anesthesia was induced bilateral upperextremities were abducted to under 80 degrees on arm boards. Prepping anddraping was performed in a sterile fashion.Of note, the patient has severe compromised skin envelope with striateand severe ptosis. Stab incision was made in the area of intendedvertical excision and using a blunt infiltration cannula on each side 500mL of 0.03% lidocaine with adrenalin 1:1 million was infiltrated on eachside. The operation was performed similarly on each side. First,attention was directed to the right side after adequate epinephrineeffect, a 45 mm areola was incised. De-epithelization of the medialpedicle was performed. Incision was made in the upper keyhole in verticalarea, keeping the lower extent of excision 4 cm up from the inframammaryfold. Composite resection was performed after isolating the pedicle bysharp dissection and adequate at least 2 cm vertical pillars wereCoding Quiz Operative Report 3:preserved and further resection laterally was performed removing on theright side 716 grams. Meticulous hemostasis obtained withelectrocauterization. Irrigation was performed with saline. The verticalpillars repaired with #1 Vicryl sutures. The vertical closure for 8 cmwas performed using gathering 4-0 Monocryl deep dermal sutures, running12 | Pagesubcuticular 3-0 V-Loc suture. The nipple areolar complex was sutured tosurrounding flaps using interrupted simple 4-0 Monocryl for the deepdermis, running subcuticular 4-0 Monocryl for the skin. Because of severeskin envelope laxity, the patient’s body habitus, was necessary toperform dog ear excision of skin and subcutaneous tissue in the neo-inframammary fold for contouring purposes. Closure in this area, afterhemostasis obtained with electrocauterization was accomplished usinginterrupted 3-0 Vicryl to deep dermis, running subcuticular 3-0 V-LocMonocryl for the skin. Next, attention was directed to the left sidewhere resection of 757 grams was performed, hemostasis obtained withelectrocauterization, closure and dog ear excision was performed in asimilar fashion. The patient’s areola to neo-inframammary fold was 8 cmon each side with symmetrical mounds created. Specimen was sent topathology. After completion of bilateral reductions, the wounds weredressed with Dermabond and Tegaderm. General anesthesia was thenterminated. The patient went to the recovery room in stable condition.There were no complications. Sponge and instrument counts correct.Estimated blood loss was minimal. The patient was discharged withinstructions to resume usual diet and medications with the exception ofholding aspirin and Advil/ibuprofen. The patient will ambulate q.i.d. Shewill drink plenty of fluids. She will avoid pressure on her chest. Shewill be seen tomorrow in follow up. She will begin Lovenox at 0800 on07/15/2014.
