About 58210: Radical abdominal hysterectomy with node dissection
Reports radical abdominal removal of the uterus and cervix with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy and para-aortic node sampling, commonly for cervical cancer.
A gynecologic oncologist typically performs this open abdominal operation for cervical cancer when radical resection and nodal assessment are indicated. The procedure removes the uterus and cervix with surrounding parametrial tissue and includes bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection and para-aortic node sampling. Removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries may be included or omitted according to the operative plan.
Select the code when the documented operation includes the radical abdominal resection and specified nodal work; the operative report should identify the tissues removed and the lymph node procedures performed. Tube or ovary removal is included when done, not separately coded as an additional hysterectomy service. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
