Shell rot appears as black or dark green patches that have eaten away parts of a hermit crab's exoskeleton. It most often occurs on the legs, but may also affect claws and the body. It is unknown whether shell rot can affect humans, but it may spread between hermit crabs. There has not been a lot research conducted on shell rot, but it may affect other crustaceans such as lobsters. Hermit crabs can free themselves from shell rot by moulting.
In CPT 2008, the American Medical Association (AMA) published the total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) set of codes (58570-58573).
Newbie looking for appropriate CPT for OP note Being new to surgical coding, I am having some difficulty finding the appropriate CPT code for this surgery and need help. My surgeon performed a partial gastrectomy on a gastric remnant and a tube duodenostomy. I am not sure which code I should be using. The pt is S/P Roux-En-Y bypass. I found 43631 (partial gastrectomy with duodenostomy). I cannot seem to find a more appropriate CPT code.
