12042-F6, 11740-F7 - ✔✔✔-A child is brought into the emergency department after having her
fingers on her right hand closed in a car door. The physician evaluates the patient and diagnosis
her with a 3cm laceration to her second finger and a subungual hematoma to her third finger.
The physician then proceeds to cleanse the fingers with an iodine scrub and injects both digits
with 2 mL of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine. The wound on the second finger was then irrigated
with 500 cc of NS and explored for foreign bodies or structural damage. No foreign bodies were
found, tendons and vessels were intact. The wound was then re-approximated. Three 5-0
absorbable mattress sutures were used to close the subcutaneous tissue and six 6-0 nylon
interrupted sutures were used to close the epidermis. The finger was then wrapped in sterile
gauze and placed in an aluminum finger splint. The physician then check that the digital block
performed on the third finger was still effective. After ensuring the patient's finger was still
numb he then proceeded to take an electronic cautery unit and created a small hole in the nail.
Pressing slightly on the nail he evacuated the hematoma. The hole was then irrigated with
500cc of NS and the finger was wrapped in sterile gauze. The patient tolerated both procedures
well without complaint. Which is the correct code(s)?
15120 - ✔✔✔-A patient with a non-healing burn wound on her right cheek, and is admitted to
the OR for surgery. The physician had the patient prepped with a Betadine scrub and draped in
the normal sterile fashion. The cheek was anesthetized with 1% Lidocaine with 1:800,000
epinephrine (6 cc), and SeptiCare was applied. A skin graft of the epidermis and a small portion
of the dermis was taken with a Goulian Weck blade with a six-thousands-of-an-inch-thick shim
on the blade. The 25 sq cm graft was flipped and sewn to the adjacent defect with running 5-0
Vicryl. The wound was then dressed with Xeroform and the patient was taken to recovery.

16035, 16036 x2 - ✔✔✔-A patient is being treated for third degree burns to his left leg and left
arm which cover a total of 18 sq cm. The burns are scrubbed clean, anesthetized, and three
incisions are made with a #11 scalpel, through the tough leathery tissue that is dead, in order to
expose the fatty tissue below and avoid compartment syndrome. The burns are then re-dressed
with sterile gauze. Which is the correct code(s)?
17273, 17000, 17110 - ✔✔✔-A patient presents to her dermatologists office with three
suspicious looking lesions. The dermatologist evaluates them and determines that the 1.3cm
lesion of the scalp is benign and the 1.5cm lesion of the neck is premalignant. The 2.5 cm on the
dorsal surface of the patient's hand is also evaluated and is determined to be malignant. The

17311, 17315, 17312, 12002 - ✔✔✔-OPERATIVE REPORT
Preoperative Diagnosis: Basal Cell Carcinoma
Postoperative Diagnosis: Basal Cell Carcinoma
Location: Mid Parietal Scalp
Procedure: Prior to each surgical stage, the surgical site was tested for anesthesia and re-
anesthetized as needed, after which it was prepped and draped in a sterile fashion.
The clinically-apparent tumor was carefully defined and de-bulked prior to the first stage,
determining the extent of the surgical excision. With each stage, a thin layer of tumor-laden
tissue was excised with a narrow margin of normal appearing skin, using the Mohs fresh tissue
technique. A map was prepared to correspond to the area of skin from which it was excised. The
tissue was prepared for the cryostat and sectioned. Each section was coded, cut and stained for
microscopic examination. The entire base and margins of the excised piece of tissue were
examined by the surgeon. Areas noted to be positive on the previous stage (if applicable) were
removed with the Mohs technique and processed for analysis. No tumor was identified after the
final stage of microscopically controlled surgery. The patient tolerated the procedure well
without any complication. After discussion with the patient regarding the various options, the
best closure option for each defect was selected for optimal functional and cosmetic results.
