Good Morning,
I work for a Urology office and our doctor did a laparoscopic right salpingectomy and oophorectomy while he was doing a nephroureterectomy. He said that the right ovary and fallopian tube were overlying the ureter and there was some significant adhesions. He tried to free the adhesions up but they continued to bleed so he put Weck clips along the fallopian tube as well as the gonadal vessels feeding into the ovary, and excised these and removed the part of the fallopian tube as well as the ovary. Would I use CPT code 558661 for this procedure?
