I have a patient who presented with progressive pelvic pain and rising beta hCG. The provider took her to the OR and performed a laparoscopic salpingotomy on the right adnexal tube. No ectopic pregnancy was visulaized or manipulated out of the tube. How would you code this procedure? And what diagnosis would you link?

use a code for the salpingotomy, if there is not one use an unlisted and the dx code would be a V71.x
