Benign prostatic hypertrophy with outlet obstruction and hematuria.
Operation: TURP
Anesthesia: Spinal
Description of procedure: Resection began at the posterior bladder neck and extended to the
verumontanum (a crest near the wall of the urethra). Posterior tissue was resected first from the left
lateral lobe, then right lateral lobe, then anterior. Depth of resection was carried to the level of the
circular fibers. Bleeding vessels were electrocauterized as encountered. Care was taken to not resect
distal to the verumontanum, thus protecting the external sphincter. At the end of the procedure,
prostatic chips were evacuated from the bladder. Final inspection showed good hemostasis and intact
verumontanum. The instruments were removed, Foley catheter inserted and the patient returned to
the recovery area in satisfactory condition. What CPT® code is reported for this service?
