MOHS MICROGRAPHIC SURGERY

This tecnique is different from excision Main aim of this technique is 100% result

(or)complete removal of lesion Here dual role is performed by the physician a) Surgeonb) Pathologist

PROCEDURE various stages are involved in this process

for complete removal of lesions Removed tissue is divided as blocks/pieces Each block examined for evalution Every stage contain minimum 5

blocks(default) For addition of each extra block code may

vary

Any repair is performed code separately Any biopsy is performed on same day along

with mohs surgery code separately with modifier 59.

(17315)code for each additional block in addition to code for primary procedure.

MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY CRYOTHERAPY:-also called as cold therapy it is a procedure used to destroy the benign

or malignant lesions using low temperature(co2slush, liquid N2).

It is a modified sweat gland breasts are made of specialized tissue that

produces milk (glandular tissue) as well as fatty tissue. The amount of fat determines the size of the breast.

Breast cancer is most common in females

MASTOTOMY: incision of the breast FISTULA: abnormal connection between to

hallow spaces GYNACOMASTIA: enlargement of male

breast due to endocrine disorders GALACTOGRAPHY or DUCTOGRAPHY (or galactogram, ductogram) is a medical diagnostic procedure for viewing the milk ducts.

BREAST SURGERY PROCEDURES INCISION Making a small cut and allow to drain the

cyst of breast. Range of code(19000-19030).

EXCISION:-removal of cysts benign and malignant

tumers breast biopsies without image guidance are reported with 19100-19101.Image guided breast biopsies with placement of localization devices are reported with 19081-19086.

Placement of localization devices without image-guided biopsy are reported with 19281-19288.

Partial mastectomy procedures are reported using codes 19301 or 19302.

Total mastectomy procedures are reported using codes 19303-19307 as appropriate.

STEREOTACTIC BIOPSY it is also known as stereotactic core

biopsy this procedure uses a computer and

imaging performed in at least two planes to localize a target lesion.

This technique is very useful in identifying micro calcifications

REPAIR/RECONSTRUCTION In this procedure breast is repaired to function as normal.AUGUMENTATION: increasing size of the breast using some localization devicesMASTOPEXY: surgical fixation(or) re-positioning of breastRANGE OF CODE:19316-19396https://www.medesunglobal.com
