What 58260 covers

A gynecologic surgeon removes the uterus, including the cervix, through the vaginal route. This code describes the procedure when the uterus weighs 250 grams or less; it is commonly performed for benign conditions such as symptomatic fibroids or abnormal uterine bleeding when vaginal access is appropriate. The surgery is typically performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery center.

Select the code using the operative approach, specimen weight, and any additional procedures documented. The operative report should identify the vaginal route and support the specimen weight; pathology documentation may help establish the weight. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for removal of a single uterus.
