HCPCS 58670

Laparoscopy, surgical; with fulguration of oviducts (with or without transection)

AI EXPLANATION: Laparoscopic tubal ligation, commonly called getting your tubes tied, is a permanent surgical procedure for female sterilization. A surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen to insert a tiny camera and specialized instruments to reach the fallopian tubes, which transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. The tubes are then closed or sealed using electrical heat, and may also be cut, to block the path of eggs and sperm and prevent pregnancy.
