CPT Knowledgebase - Apr 25, 2011

The patient has a complex pelvic prolapse including uterovaginal prolapse, enterocele, and rectocele. Multiple lacerations in the pubocervical fascia and rectovaginal fascia were found. After completing the vaginal hysterectomy for a uterus weighing 230 g, specific repairs were done in the posterior compartment (rectocele and enterocele) and a graft was used to augment each repair as the quality of the tissue was poor. A vaginal uterosacral colpopexy was performed as well. How would this be reported? Can code 57267 be reported twice?
