Other female urinary-genital tract fistulae
ICD-10 N82.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of other female urinary-genital tract fistulae.
N82.1 refers to various types of urinary-genital tract fistulae in females that do not fall under more specific categories. These fistulae can arise from several underlying conditions, including endometriosis, which may lead to the formation of abnormal connections between the urinary tract and the genital tract. Female genital prolapse can also contribute to the development of fistulae, particularly in cases where the pelvic support structures are compromised. Ovarian disorders, such as cysts or tumors, may also lead to fistula formation if they erode into adjacent structures. Additionally, polyps in the female genital tract can create pathways for abnormal connections, resulting in urinary-genital tract fistulae. The clinical presentation may include urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections, and abnormal vaginal discharge. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and cystoscopy, while management may require surgical intervention to repair the fistula and address any underlying conditions.
Detailed descriptions of the fistula's location, size, and associated symptoms.
Management of urinary incontinence due to fistulae, surgical repair of fistulae.
Urologists must document any prior surgeries or conditions that may have contributed to the fistula.
Comprehensive history of pelvic conditions, including endometriosis and prolapse.
Evaluation and treatment of pelvic organ prolapse leading to fistula formation.
Gynecologists should ensure that all relevant pelvic examinations and imaging studies are documented.
Used when surgical intervention is performed to repair a fistula.
Operative reports detailing the procedure and findings.
Urologists and gynecologists must document the type of fistula and any associated conditions.
Common causes include endometriosis, pelvic organ prolapse, surgical complications, and malignancies affecting the pelvic region.
Differentiation is based on the anatomical location and the underlying cause, which should be clearly documented in the medical record.
