Maternal care due to uterine scar from other previous surgery
ICD-10 O34.29 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care due to uterine scar from other previous surgery.
O34.29 is used to indicate maternal care for women who have a uterine scar resulting from previous surgical interventions, such as myomectomy or other pelvic surgeries, which may impact pregnancy and delivery. The presence of a uterine scar can lead to complications such as uterine rupture, abnormal placentation, or increased risk of cesarean delivery. Careful monitoring and management are essential to ensure maternal and fetal safety. This code is particularly relevant for obstetricians and healthcare providers managing pregnancies in women with a history of uterine surgery, as it necessitates a tailored approach to prenatal care, labor, and delivery planning. Documentation should include details of the previous surgery, the nature of the uterine scar, and any associated risks identified during prenatal visits.
