CPT® Code 57545

The procedure described by CPT® Code 57545 involves the excision of the cervical stump through an abdominal approach, accompanied by a pelvic floor repair. This surgical intervention is typically indicated for patients who have previously undergone a subtotal abdominal hysterectomy and are now facing complications such as cervical neoplasm or myoma. The term "cervical stump" refers to the remaining portion of the cervix that may persist after a hysterectomy. The excision aims to remove this stump to address any pathological conditions while also ensuring the integrity of the pelvic floor through repair techniques. The procedure requires careful dissection and manipulation of surrounding structures, including the bladder and ligaments, to safely remove the cervical stump while minimizing potential complications. The abdominal approach allows for direct access to the pelvic organs, facilitating the excision and subsequent repair of the pelvic floor structures.
