Appendectomy vs colectomy

We are coding a surgery for a Laparoscopic appendectomy with partial cecectomy. Based on the clinic note, both procedures were planned due to an appendiceal orifice polyp. We have two different opinions. Should this be a 44970 Laparoscopic appendectomy or 44204 (52) Laparoscopic colectomy, partial, with anastomosis? Or??
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
