Code the following cases for inpatient facility purposes using ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM and PCS codes.
Calculate the MS-DRG.
Identify the Principal vs. Secondary diagnoses and procedures.
Use external cause codes when appropriate.
Do NOT code procedures that are captured by the facility chargemaster.
Secondary diagnoses and procedures do NOT need to be sequenced in any particular order. Enter "None" when no code is required.
If more than one occurrence of a procedure is required, report the code with "x 2""x 3" etc.

DESCRIPTION: After a satisfactory level of spinal anesthesia was obtained the patient as prepped and draped in the supine position in the usual manner for abdominal surgery. The abdomen was entered by excision into the old Pfannenstiel scar and a low cervical transverse cesarean section performed. A viable 8 pound 8 ounce male infant was delivered demonstrating Apgars of 8 at 1 minute and 9 at 5 minutes when evaluated by the attending nursing personnel. The placenta and membranes were removed and the endometrium bluntly curetted with the surgeons fingers and covered with a moist lap. The endometrium was then closed with cutaneous 0 Vicryl. The myometrium was imbricated using 0 Vicryl and vertical Limberg suture technique with good hemostasis. The serosa was then closed with continuous 2-0 Vicryl and all free blood and clot removed from the pelvic cavity bilaterally. The anterior peritoneum was closed with cutaneous 2-0 Vicryl. The fascial remnants in the midline were approximated with interrupted 0 Vicryl and the fascia itself was closed with continuous 0 Vicryl using 2 sutures overlapped in the midline. The subcutaneous dead space was closed in multiple layers of 3-0 Vicryl and 4-0 Vicryl subcuticular was used to approximate the skin edges. Steri-Strips and a sterile dressing applied. The procedure was terminated. The patient tolerated this procedure well and was transferred to the recovery room awake and in satisfactory condition.
