The current Procedural Terminology preferred name is salpingo-oophorectomy.

Does the code need a change?When the procedure is performed bilaterally, modifier -50 should be appended.

There are Laparoscopic procedures on the Oviduct/Ovary.The American Medical Association maintains a medical procedural code under the range - Laparoscopic Procedures on the Oviduct/Ovary.

The Correct Coding Initiative does not bundle codes.You would apply modifier 51 to 58661.If your payer bundles 58661 and 58662 and you know that the surgery is in two different places, you would add the scrutineers to the code.
