      Note:
      1. Prostatectomy (S650, S651) does not include investigative cystoscopy but includes
         vasectomy when rendered.
      2. S651 includes S519 - plastic repair of bladder neck when rendered and/or S636 -
         vesiculectomy when rendered.

      [Commentary:
      A sampling of nodes does not constitute a complete staging lymphadenectomy. When only a
      sampling of nodes is performed, either S312 - laparotomy or Z553 - laparoscopic biopsy, may
      be eligible for payment depending on procedure performed.]
