example CPT?

Answer 1

Vertical banded Gastroplasty (CPT 43842) and other forms of Gastroplasty (43843) - procedures designed to restrict food intake by limiting gastric volume. A 15-ml gastric reservoir is created by one of several stapling techniques. The small gastric reservoir empties through a narrow channel on the lesser curvature of the stomach to the residual stomach. The channel is reinforced with a prosthetic material to ensure a channel circumference of 4.5 to 5 cm. This operation is attractive because it preserves gastroduodenal continuity and avoids the potential for micronutrient deficiencies.

Gastric Bypass (CPT 43846, 43847) and Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (CPT 43644 and 43645) - procedures that also limit the gastric reservoir capacity by the creation of a 15 ml stapled gastric pouch. However, the stapled pouch is connected by a 10-mm anastamosis to a 40-cm Roux-en-Y jejunal limb, thus bypassing the distal stomach, duodenum, and very proximal jejunum. This procedure combines gastric restriction with emptying of semisolid gastric contents into the jejunum, which seems to exert further additional limitation of food intake.

Laparoscopic placement of an adjustable gastric band (Lap-Band), (CPT 43770) which is a silicone implant in the shape of a ring, with an adjustable balloon. The band is placed just below the esophago-gastric junction, and the balloon is connected to a reservoir under the skin. The degree of gastric restriction can be adjusted by accessing the reservoir through the skin and adding or removing saline (CPT 90772 or HCPCS S2083).
