A patient presents with macula-off-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment that extends from the 6 o'clock to 12:30 o'clock position. The procedures performed include a 25-guage pars plana vitrectomy, removal of vitreous traction, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair, endolaser, air-fluid exchange, and silicone oil insertion. The operative report did not document that membrane peeling was performed. Would it be appropriate to report code 67108 for this scenario?
