Freeing The Colon Bend Below The Spleen

California rates for HCPCS 44139

Releases the sharp bend of the colon that sits high on the left side of the abdomen just under the spleen, cutting it free from its attachments. Freeing it gives the surgeon enough slack to bring the remaining bowel ends together without tension after a section of colon has been removed. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
