Gynecologic surgery
About 57110: Complete vaginal wall removal
Reports complete removal of the vaginal wall, typically for extensive vaginal disease when treatment requires removal beyond a localized lesion.
A gynecologic surgeon removes the vaginal wall throughout rather than excising a limited area. The operation may be performed for extensive vaginal malignancy or other disease requiring removal of the full vaginal wall, usually in a hospital or other surgical facility. The operative report should make clear that removal was complete and describe the extent of tissue removed.
Report 57110 when the procedure removes the vaginal wall completely; a partial removal or a procedure that also removes paravaginal tissue may point to a different code. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral adjustment is not appropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

57110 billing questions
How does 57110 differ from partial vaginectomy 57106?
57110 describes complete removal of the vaginal wall. Use 57106 when the operative report supports only partial removal.
When would 57111 be a closer fit?
57111 includes removal of paravaginal tissue with the complete vaginal wall removal. The operative report should support that additional tissue removal.
Can modifier 50 be appended?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code, so modifier 50 is not used to report bilateral performance.
Is an assistant at surgery payable for 57110?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, while team surgery is not permitted.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How is 57110 affected when other procedures occur in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
