About 58270: Vaginal hysterectomy with enterocele repair
Vaginal hysterectomy for a uterus weighing 250 g or less with concurrent repair of an enterocele, commonly performed for uterovaginal prolapse.
This service combines removal of the uterus through the vagina with repair of an enterocele, a herniation of peritoneal tissue into the upper vagina. A gynecologic surgeon may perform it for uterovaginal prolapse when an enterocele also requires repair. The procedure is typically performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting, rather than an office.
Report the code when the operative service includes both vaginal hysterectomy for a uterus weighing 250 g or less and enterocele repair. The operative report should document the vaginal route, the repair performed, and the uterine weight, supported by the pathology record when available. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and additional procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

58270 billing questions
When should this code be chosen over 58260?
Use 58270 when the vaginal hysterectomy for a uterus weighing 250 g or less includes repair of an enterocele. Code 58260 describes the vaginal hysterectomy without that repair.
Is the enterocele repair reported separately?
The repair is part of the combined service described by 58270. The operative documentation should show that the enterocele was repaired during the hysterectomy.
How does 58270 differ from 58263?
Code 58270 includes enterocele repair. Code 58263 applies when the hysterectomy also includes removal of one or both tubes and/or ovaries along with the repair.
What supports the selection of this code?
Document the vaginal route, the hysterectomy, the enterocele repair, and uterine weight of 250 g or less. The operative note and pathology record can support these details.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. The global period is tied to the surgery, not to a separate billing of routine related follow-up.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
