Question:

Surgery of Primary Site/Surgical Procedure of Other Site--Bladder: What codes are used to represent these fields for a deeply invasive bladder primary treated initially with a TURP (for suspected prostate extension that turns out to be pathologically negative) and a TURB that is subsequently treated with a cystoprostatectomy?

Discussion:

Answer:

For cases diagnosed 1/1/2003 and after, code:

1. Surgery of Primary Site field to 60 [Radical cystectomy (male only)] because the cystoprostatectomy was the most extensive (definitive) surgery performed to the primary site.

2. Surgical Procedure of Other Site to 2 [Non-primary surgical procedure to other regional sites] based on the TURP.

History:

For cases diagnosed 1998-2002 code:

1. Surgery of Primary Site to 60 [Radical cystectomy (male only)]

2. Surgery of Other Regional Site(s), Distant Site(s), Or Distant Lymph Nodes to 2 [Other regional sites] based on the TURP.
