About 57200: Nonobstetric vaginal injury repair
Reports surgical repair of a nonobstetric vaginal injury, such as a vaginal laceration, when the operative work is confined to the vagina.
A gynecologist, urogynecologist, or other surgeon uses this code for operative repair of a nonobstetric injury to the vaginal wall, such as a traumatic vaginal laceration. The repair may be performed in a hospital operating room or another surgical setting. The operative report should identify the injury’s vaginal location and extent and describe the repair performed; it should also clarify whether adjacent structures or the perineum required separate repair.
Report the code when the documented work is repair of the vagina rather than correction of prolapse, a paravaginal defect, or a combined rectal and vaginal problem. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of 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% multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
