A 47-year-old male patient with advanced cancer of the lower left mandible
presented to the hospital for surgical removal of the lower left jawbone with
secondary insertion of mandibular prosthesis. In order to perform surgery, the
patient had to be intubated through a tracheostomy. After anesthesia, the
surgeon performed the tracheostomy by incising the cricothyroid membrane
horizontally along the trachea and inserting the intubation device. The surgeon
completed the primary surgical procedure on the patient's mandible. What is the
correct code for the intubation?
A. 31605
B. 31600
C. No code would be used for the intubation
D. 31603 C. No code would be used for the intubation
The patient is a 58-year-old white male, one month status post pneumonectomy.
He had a post pneumonectomy empyema treated with a tunneled cuffed pleural
catheter which has been draining the cavity for one month with clear drainage.
He has had no evidence of a block or pleural fistula. Therefore a planned return to
surgery results in the removal of the catheter. The correct CPT® code is:
A. 32440-78
B. 32035-58
C. 32036-79

A 30-year-old female is having 15 sq cm debridement performed on an infected
ulcer with eschar on the right foot. Using sharp dissection, the ulcer was debrided
all the way to down to the bone of the foot. The bone had to be minimally
trimmed because of a sharp point at the end of the metatarsal. After debriding
the area, there was minimal bleeding because of very poor circulation of the foot.
It seems that the toes next to the ulcer may have some involvement and cultures
were taken. The area was dressed with sterile saline and dressings and then
wrapped. What CPT® code should be reported?
A. 11043
B. 11012

A 70-year-old female who has a history of symptomatic ventral hernia was
advised to undergo laparoscopic evaluation and repair. An incision was made in
the epigastrium and dissection was carried down through the subcutaneous
tissue. Two 5-mm trocars were placed, one in the left upper quadrant and one in
the left lower quadrant and the laparoscope was inserted. Dissection was carried
down to the area of the hernia where a small defect was clearly visualized. There
was some omentum, which was adhered to the hernia and this was delivered

Question 5
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Right scaphoid fracture. TYPE OF PROCEDURE: Open
reduction and internal fixation of right scaphoid fracture. DESCRIPTION OF
PROCEDURE: The patient was brought to the operating room; anesthesia having
been administered. The right upper extremity was prepped and draped in a sterile
manner. The limb was elevated, exsanguinated, and a pneumatic arm tourniquet
was elevated. An incision was made over the dorsal radial aspect of the right
wrist. Skin flaps were elevated. Cutaneous nerve branches were identified and
very gently retracted. The interval between the second and third dorsal
compartment tendons was identified and entered. The respective tendons were
retracted. A dorsal capsulotomy incision was made, and the fracture was
visualized. There did not appear to be any type of significant defect at the fracture
site. A 0.045 Kirschner wire was then used as a guidewire, extending from t A.

An infant with genu valgum is brought to the operating room to have a bilateral
medial distal femur hemiepiphysiodesis done. On each knee, the C-arm was used
to localize the growth plate. With the growth plate localized, an incision was
made medially on both sides. This was taken down to the fascia, which was
opened. The periosteum was not opened. The Orthofix® figure-of-eight plate was
placed and checked with X-ray. We then irrigated and closed the medial fascia
with 0 Vicryl suture. The skin was closed with 2-0 Vicryl and 3-0 Monocryl®. What
procedure code is reported?
