Question Cystectomy of 8 cm cyst on right distal mesosalpinx

I'm questioning which CPT best fits this procedure since it was not an ovarian cystectomy and ovaries and tubes remained intact. 2011 Coding companion lists laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy as 58661 which includes removal of adnexal structures. 58925 lists that the procedure be dones thru an abdominal incision. My provider did the procedure thru the umbilicus with laparoscope. Can someone help to clarify?
