Incision Through The Vaginal Wall To Explore

Louisiana rates for HCPCS 57000

An incision is made through the wall of the vagina to reach the space behind the uterus so the surgeon can look at and feel the pelvic organs. Working through the vagina avoids an abdominal incision. It is used to investigate a suspected problem in the pelvis such as bleeding, a collection of fluid, or an abnormal mass.
