About 57310: Vaginal repair of urethrovaginal fistula
Surgical closure of a urethrovaginal fistula through the vagina is reported when the repair is performed by the vaginal route.
This operation closes an abnormal communication between the urethra and vagina, which can allow urine to pass into the vagina and cause persistent leakage. A gynecologic surgeon, urogynecologist, or urologist repairs the tract through vaginal access, reconstructing the tissues between the organs. The procedure is performed in an operative setting and is distinct from repair of a bladder-to-vagina or rectum-to-vagina fistula.
Report 57310 when the operative documentation identifies a urethrovaginal fistula and records a vaginal approach; use 57311 when the repair is performed through an abdominal approach. Documentation should establish the tract’s origin and destination, the surgical route, and the repair performed. The 90-day major-surgery global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this descriptor and anatomy. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

57310 billing questions

It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
What documentation supports reporting 57310?
The operative record should identify the urethrovaginal tract, document the vaginal approach, and describe the repair performed.
