Gynecologic surgery
About 58285: Radical vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy
Reports radical hysterectomy through a vaginal approach with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, typically for selected gynecologic cancers requiring regional nodal surgery.
This operation removes the uterus and cervix with surrounding tissues, including the upper vagina, and includes bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection. Gynecologic oncologists typically perform it in an operating room for selected pelvic malignancies when radical resection is indicated and the vaginal route is appropriate. It is distinct from a simple vaginal hysterectomy and from radical hysterectomy performed through an abdominal incision.
Report one unit for the operation, supported by documentation of the vaginal approach, radical tissue resection, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. The code’s 90-day global period includes 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 other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

Should modifier 50 be reported?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code, even though the included lymphadenectomy is bilateral.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should establish the vaginal route, radical resection of surrounding tissues, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; 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.
