About 57295: Vaginal graft revision through vaginal approach
Reports vaginally performed revision or removal of a previously placed prosthetic vaginal graft, such as for graft exposure, scarring, or related symptoms.
A surgeon, commonly a urogynecologist or gynecologist, accesses a previously placed prosthetic graft through the vagina and revises or removes it. The service may address problems such as graft exposure, contraction, or pain after pelvic floor surgery. It is not the initial placement of a graft, and the approach is vaginal rather than abdominal.
Select this code when the operative report documents work on an existing vaginal graft and describes the vaginal route. Record the reason for revision, the graft involved, and the work performed, including whether graft material was removed. This major surgery has 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. Modifier 50 is not appropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.
