For a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, you would typically use the CPT code 48146. This code specifically covers laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy, and if splenectomy is performed simultaneously, it may be appropriate to add another code, such as 38100 for the splenectomy, depending on the specifics of the procedure and documentation. Always verify with the most current coding guidelines or a coding specialist.
