Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 62-year-old patient is admitted with fever, left flank pain, and leukocytosis. CT imaging demonstrates a left adrenal abscess with a well-defined fluid collection requiring evacuation; an interventional radiologist places a percutaneous drainage catheter under image guidance to drain purulent material. A code reflecting percutaneous drainage with placement of a drainage device is selected. Typical codes: 0G9230Z
A 48-year-old patient with a history of a chronic left adrenal cyst causing intermittent pain is scheduled for a minimally invasive therapeutic aspiration and drainage under endoscopic guidance to relieve symptoms and obtain fluid for analysis. The planned approach is percutaneous endoscopic drainage with placement of a temporary drain as part of the elective procedure. Typical codes: 0G9240Z
A 70-year-old postoperative patient develops a symptomatic left adrenal hematoma not responding to conservative measures; surgical exploration via an open approach is performed to evacuate the hematoma and place a drain to prevent reaccumulation. The operation is recorded as open drainage of the left adrenal gland with placement of a drainage device. Typical codes: 0G9200Z
