Trauma surgery
About 47350: Limited traumatic liver wound repair
Reports operative suture repair or packing of a limited traumatic liver laceration when the surgeon does not perform more extensive repair maneuvers.
This service covers operative repair of a limited liver wound, such as a traumatic laceration managed with sutures, packing, or both. It is typically performed by a trauma or general surgeon during emergency abdominal surgery, often after blunt or penetrating injury. The operative report should identify the liver injury and describe the repair performed, including whether packing was used and whether the surgeon undertook more extensive exploration, debridement, or additional vascular or biliary procedures.
Report this code when the documented repair fits the limited-wound level rather than a more extensive liver-wound repair code. It has a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
