Gynecologic surgery
About 57720: Vaginal repair of cervical injury
Vaginal cervical reconstruction repairs an acquired cervical laceration or deformity when the operation restores cervical tissue rather than treating a lesion or supporting pregnancy.
A gynecologist performs this operation through the vagina to repair or reconstruct the cervix, commonly for an acquired defect such as a cervical laceration with resulting distortion. The surgeon may reshape and suture cervical tissue to restore its anatomy. The service is typically performed in an operating room; documentation should identify the cervical defect and describe the repair performed.
Report the service when the operative work is cervical reconstruction, not placement of a cerclage or removal of cervical tissue for a lesion. The operative report should support the indication, vaginal approach, and extent of repair. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

57720 billing questions
How does this differ from 57700?
57720 repairs or reconstructs cervical tissue, such as an acquired defect. 57700 is for cervical cerclage during pregnancy, which provides cervical support.
Can a cervical biopsy or excision be reported with the repair?
The repair code represents reconstructive work, not diagnostic sampling or lesion removal. Separately report another service only when it was distinct, performed, and supported by the operative documentation.
What documentation supports reporting 57720?
Document the cervical defect or injury, why repair was needed, the vaginal approach, and the tissue-repair steps performed.
Does the 90-day global include postoperative visits?
Related postoperative care for 90 days is included, along with the day-before preoperative visit.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
Should modifier 50 be used?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this cervical repair.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
