58150 is the correct code for a total abdominal hysterectomy with or without removal of tube(s), with or without removal of ovary(s).
Code 58200 is incorrect because this code is for a total abdominal hysterectomy including partial vaginectomy with para-aortic and pelvic lymph node sampling, with or without removal of tube(s), with or without removal of ovary(s). Code 58260 is incorrect because this code is for vaginal hysterectomy for uterus 250 grams or less and 58285 is incorrect because this code is for a radical vaginal hysterectomy.
