Typical Clinical Scenarios

An elderly patient on anticoagulation presents to the hospital with a rapidly expanding painful soft-tissue hematoma of the buttock after a fall. Surgical exploration and removal of the organized subcutaneous hematoma and surrounding necrotic fascia tissue is performed via an open approach to control pain, reduce mass effect, and allow wound management. No grafting or replacement is performed. Typical codes: 0JB90ZZ
A middle-aged patient with a chronic, recurrent pilonidal-type subcutaneous abscess over the upper buttock is admitted electively for planned surgical excision of the involved subcutaneous tissue and diseased fascia after failure of repeated incision and drainage. The procedure is performed in a controlled operating room setting using an open approach to remove the affected tissue and allow healing by secondary intention. Typical codes: 0JB90ZZ
A patient previously treated for a soft-tissue infection returns with a persistent small sinus and induration localized to the buttock; diagnostic limited excision is undertaken percutaneously to obtain tissue for culture and pathology and to confirm the extent of residual subcutaneous and fascial disease before further definitive management. The intent is diagnostic excision without replacement. Typical codes: 0JB93ZX
