seroma of TRAM
Does anyone have any clues as to the proper coding of “Seroma of TRAM flap s/p mastectomy L breast“ and how to arrive at the code?
I follow the book in
-Seroma
-See hematoma
-Hematoma postop
-See complication postop hemorrhage
I get stuck here. Do I put this in musculoskeletal because muscle is involved and it is deeper than ‘cutaneous’ or where do I go?
Thank-you so much.
