Abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy (58152, 58263-58270, 58292-58294) include pelvic floor repairs to supporting structures that have prolapsed (i.e., weakened and “fallen”). To code prolapse repairs, the operative report should mention ligaments and supporting structures, approach for the procedure, and how the prolapse was repaired.
In the avascular plane, the vaginal wall was separated from the rectocele, the upper portion of which formed the enterocele. Once the avascular plane was approximated in the midline with 0-vicryl horizontal mattress sutures to maintain reduction. The excess vaginal wall was then amputated and the vaginal mucosa was closed.
For a laparoscopic approach, use 57423 (Paravaginal defect repair [including repair of cystocele, if performed], laparoscopic approach), Witt says.

Enterocele Repair is where the pubocervical and rectovaginal fascia (supportive layers) are sewn together, repairing the vaginal hernia known as an Enterocele. Most patients who have done an Enterocele repair also need a vaginal vault suspension.

CPT code 57250 describes posterior colporrhaphy for repair of rectocele including perineorrhaphy if performed.
ICD-10 code N81. 6 for Rectocele is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
Perineoplasty is the same thing as perineorrhaphy. Since this procedure is included with a posterior repair (code 57250) and you are billing for a combined posterior and anterior repair, the perineoplasty would be included in code 57260 as well.
This procedure is intended to correct pelvic prolapse that results from inadequate support of the vaginal apex. If the physician uses an abdominal approach and attaches the vault of the vagina to the sacrum the procedure is called a Colpopexy.

The excess vaginal wall was then amputated and the vaginal mucosa was closed. The vaginal canal was somewhat foreshortened beforehand due to previous hysterectomy and it was slightly shorter even after completion of the rectocele repair but in order to maintain reduction of the enterocele, this was necessary...

The surgical approach can be abdominal (the uterus is removed via an incision in the lower abdomen), vaginal (the uterus is removed via an incision in the vagina), or laparoscopic (procedure is performed using a laparoscope, inserted via several small incisions in the body).
CPT® coding for laparoscopic hysterectomy is based on the size of the uterus and the method used to complete the procedure. Documentation should state the weight of the uterus before it is sent to pathology.
Vaginal suspension corrects a loss of the lateral vaginal attachment to the pelvic sidewall using a series of sutures placed at the defect to elevate the vaginal wall and pubocervical fascia to the normal position. Codes include:#N#57284 Paravaginal defect repair (including repair of cystocele, if performed); open abdominal approach#N#57285 vaginal approach#N#Do not separately report cystocele with 57284 or 57285.
Mesh is used in both the anterior and posterior repair, but the anterior will overlap the mesh used for the sling. Modifier 59 can be reported for the posterior mesh because it’s a separate location. Example 2: Consider reporting for the following: Vaginal hysterectomy – 58260. Paravaginal defect repair – 57284.
There are three options: A total hysterectomy is the removal of the whole uterus, the fundus, and cervix. A subtotal, partial, or supracervical hysterectomy is the removal of the fundus or top portion of the uterus only, leaving the cervix in place. Radical hysterectomy includes the removal of the entire uterus and nearby tissue, the cervix, ...
First degree prolapse is incomplete and the uterus drops to the upper portion of the vagina. Second degree is also incomplete with the uterus dropping into the lower portion of the vagina. A complete or third-degree prolapse occurs when the uterus drops with the cervix to the vaginal opening.
Radical hysterectomy includes the removal of the entire uterus and nearby tissue, the cervix, and the top part of the vagina. If you know the approach and extent of the procedure, in some cases you may be able to determine the appropriate code without further detail. For example, an abdominal hysterectomy may be:
