HCPCS 58600

Ligation or transection of fallopian tube(s), abdominal or vaginal approach, unilateral or bilateral

AI EXPLANATION: Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure for permanent female contraception, commonly referred to as having your tubes tied. During the procedure, a surgeon closes, cuts, bands, or seals the fallopian tubes to prevent eggs from moving from the ovaries into the uterus and to prevent sperm from reaching an egg. The surgery can be performed on one or both fallopian tubes through small incisions in the abdomen or through the vagina.
