About 57109: Radical vaginectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy
Report radical vaginectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy for definitive surgical treatment of selected vaginal malignancies requiring this extent of resection.
This operation removes the vagina radically for selected vaginal malignancies and includes bilateral total pelvic lymphadenectomy. A gynecologic oncologist typically performs it in an operating room, removing the vaginal disease and regional pelvic nodes as part of definitive cancer surgery; the resection depends on tumor extent and the operative plan.
Report 57109 when the operation meets the radical vaginectomy service with the included bilateral pelvic node dissection, not for a limited vaginal-wall excision or diagnostic biopsy. The operative report should establish the radical extent and document pelvic lymphadenectomy, with pathology and diagnosis supporting the cancer operation. The code is priced bilaterally, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. It has a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For other procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and additional procedures at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made, co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

57109 billing questions
When should 57109 be chosen over a complete vaginectomy code?
Use 57109 for radical vaginectomy with bilateral total pelvic lymphadenectomy. A complete vaginal-wall excision without that radical service and nodal dissection is described by a different code.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
The service is already priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What documentation supports reporting 57109?
The operative report should describe the radical vaginal resection and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. The diagnosis and pathology should support the cancer operation.
How does the global period affect related care?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are other same-session procedures handled?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeons need supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
