CPT® code for Tubal Cannulation
re: CPT® code for Tubal Cannulation
58565
The physician performs a hysteroscopy with bilateral fallopian tube cannulation and placement of permanent implants to occlude the fallopian tubes. The physician advances the hysteroscope through the vagina and into the cervical os to gain entry into the uterine cavity. The physician inserts a catheter into each fallopian tube. The catheter delivers a small metallic implant into each fallopian tube. The presence of the obstructive implant causes scar tissue to form, completely blocking the fallopian tube as a means of birth control.
