Fistulae involving female genital tract (N82)
ICD-10 code N82 covers fistulae involving the female genital tract, identifying abnormal passages that connect the genital organs to other body parts. These codes specifically classify various types of fistulas including connections to the urinary tract, intestines, skin, and other locations within the female reproductive system.
The ICD-10 code for fistulae involving the female genital tract helps in accurately coding conditions such as vesicovaginal fistula (N82.0), known by synonyms like reproductive system complication of procedure, or other female urinary-genital tract fistulae (N82.1), which include fistulas of the cervix and urethrovaginal types. Codes also address fistulas between the vagina and the small intestine (N82.2), or large intestine (N82.3), often referred to by terms like intestinovaginal or rectovaginal fistulas. Additional codes cover other rare fistulas such as female genital tract to skin (N82.5) and unspecific types (N82.9), which encompass broad symptom descriptions like vaginal fistula findings and related sexual or neurological dysfunctions. Using these specific codes ensures precise documentation for treatment and billing of unique female genital tract fistula conditions.
