Laparoscopic Tubal Sterilization by Cauterization

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 58670

This is a minimally invasive surgery to permanently prevent pregnancy by sealing off the fallopian tubes. Working through small incisions with a camera-guided instrument, the surgeon uses heat energy to close off each tube, sometimes cutting them as well, so an egg can no longer travel to the uterus. It's a form of permanent sterilization, commonly known as having your tubes tied.
