About 45136: Excision of ileoanal pouch

Removal of a previously constructed ileoanal pouch is reported when the reservoir is excised during operative management of pouch failure or disease.

Code 45136 identifies operative removal of an ileoanal reservoir, or pouch, previously fashioned from ileum and connected to the anal canal, rather than construction of a new pouch. Colorectal surgeons may perform the operation for a failed or diseased pouch, including persistent inflammatory or septic complications or unacceptable pouch function. It is performed in an operating room, generally in a hospital or other surgical facility. The operative report should establish that an existing ileoanal reservoir was excised and describe the indication and extent of the work; rectal excision alone is not enough to support this code.

Report the service for the pouch excision documented, distinguishing it from initial pouch-forming surgery and other rectal resections. This major operation has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this anatomy.
