What is a vaginal hysterectomy with BSO?

Vaginal hysterectomy is a procedure in which the uterus is surgically removed through the vagina. One or both ovaries and fallopian tubes may be removed during the procedure as well; removal of both ovaries and fallopian tubes is called bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) (figure 1).

What is laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy?

What is a laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy? A salpingo-oophorectomy is the removal of one (unilateral) or both (bilateral) of your ovaries and fallopian tubes. Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery technique that only uses a few small incisions on your lower abdomen.

What is the difference between TLH and LAVH?

A TLH approach for removal is the detachement of the entire uterine cervix and body via the laparoscope (tissues removed through vagina or abdomin) and a LAVH is the detachement of entire uterine cervix and body via the laparoscope and vagina (tissues removed through the vagina).

How is a TLH performed?

Definition: Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) is an operation to remove the uterus (womb) and cervix with the aid of a small operating telescope, called a laparoscope. The laparoscope is inserted into the abdominal wall through a small incision and allows the doctor to examine the pelvis/abdomen.

What is the CPT code for laparoscopic BSO?

58575
If you perform a laparoscopic hysterectomy, BSO, debulking, the proper CPT code would be 58575 (Laparoscopy, surgical, total hysterectomy for resection of malignancy (tumor debulking), with omentectomy including salpingo-oophorectomy, unilateral or bilateral, when performed).

How many incisions are needed for ovary removal?

In this surgical approach, the surgeon makes one long incision in your lower abdomen to access your ovaries. The surgeon separates each ovary from the blood supply and tissue that surrounds it and removes the ovary.

What kind of surgery can you do with da Vinci?

Today doctors still perform open surgery, but they can also perform many gynecologic procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, possibly with da Vinci technology. Both minimally invasive approaches require one or a few small incisions that doctors use to insert surgical equipment and a camera for viewing.

How is the da Vinci Surgery used for uterus removal?

Surgeons using da Vinci technology may be able to remove your uterus through either a few small incisions (cuts) or through one small incision in your belly button using Single-Site ® technology. During surgery, your surgeon sits at a console next to you and operates using tiny instruments.

What are the pros and cons of a da Vinci hysterectomy?

Main advantages of da Vinci robotic hysterectomy. Your stay in the hospital will be much shorter and you will get back to your normal routine faster than with an open surgery. The risk of infection and bleeding complications are less than with an open hysterectomy.

What are the risks of da Vinci Surgery?

Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci surgery, up to and including death. Serious risks include, but are not limited to, injury to tissues and organs and conversion to other surgical techniques which could result in a longer operative time and/or increased complications.
