5) The physician performed a cholecystostomy with removal of calculus.

6) Subsequent to previous peritoneocentesis (performed at a different operative session), the physician withdrew fluid and performed infusion and drainage of fluid from the abdominal cavity (peritoneal lavage).

7) The physician reopened a recent laparotomy incision, before the incision had fully healed, to drain a postoperative infection.

8) The physician performed laparoscopic repair of an initial inguinal hernia.

9) The physician performed a reducible ventral hernia (initial) repair and inserted mesh implantation.

8) The physician revised a surgical opening between the skin and the right ureter.

9) The physician injected contrast agent through an opening between the skin and the left ureter (ureterostomy) for ureterography (study of renal collecting system).

10) The physician made an incision in the left ureter (ureterotomy) to insert a catheter (stent) into the ureter.

11) The physician performed a transurethral resection of a postoperative bladder neck contracture using a resectoscope.
