Colorectal surgery
About 45110: Complete abdominoperineal proctectomy with colostomy
Reports complete removal of the rectum through abdominal and perineal approaches when the operation includes creation of a colostomy.
This operation removes the rectum through both abdominal and perineal access and includes creation of a colostomy. Colorectal and general surgeons commonly perform it in a hospital operating room, often for rectal cancer when a restorative reconstruction is not planned. The operative report should establish the full extent of rectal removal, both approaches, and the colostomy.
Select this code when the documented operation matches that complete resection and colostomy combination, rather than a partial resection or a different operative approach. It has a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the following 90 days. For procedures performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces other procedures under the standard multiple-procedure rule. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for this single-organ procedure.

45110 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 45111?
This code describes complete rectal removal through abdominal and perineal approaches with a colostomy. Code 45111 is for partial removal with an anastomosis.
Is creation of the colostomy included?
Yes. The colostomy is part of the service represented by this code.
What documentation supports code selection?
The operative report should describe complete rectal removal, the abdominal and perineal approaches, and colostomy creation.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this procedure involving a single rectum and operative field.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
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.
