Noninflammatory disorders of ovary, fallopian tube and broad ligament
Chapter 14:Diseases of the genitourinary system
ICD-10 N83 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of noninflammatory disorders of ovary, fallopian tube and broad ligament.
N83 encompasses a range of noninflammatory conditions affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and broad ligament. This includes disorders such as endometriosis, which is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to pain and potential fertility issues. Female genital prolapse, another condition under this code, occurs when pelvic organs descend due to weakened pelvic support structures, often resulting in urinary and bowel dysfunction. Fistulas, abnormal connections between organs, can also arise in this context, particularly in cases of severe endometriosis or trauma. Ovarian disorders, including cysts and tumors, are common and can be benign or malignant. Additionally, polyps of the female genital tract, which are growths on the endometrial lining or cervix, can lead to abnormal bleeding and require careful monitoring. Accurate coding for these conditions is crucial for appropriate treatment and management, as they can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and reproductive health.
Detailed patient history, physical examination findings, imaging results, and treatment plans.
Diagnosis and management of endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic organ prolapse.
Ensure clear documentation of the specific type of disorder and any associated symptoms to support the chosen code.
Comprehensive evaluation of urinary symptoms, imaging studies, and surgical reports.
Management of urinary incontinence related to pelvic organ prolapse.
Collaboration with gynecologists may be necessary for comprehensive care and accurate coding.
Used when a patient with endometriosis undergoes laparoscopic surgery.
Operative report detailing the procedure and findings.
Obstetricians and gynecologists should ensure accurate coding based on surgical findings.
N83 includes noninflammatory disorders such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic organ prolapse, and polyps of the female genital tract.
N83 is specifically for noninflammatory disorders. If there is evidence of inflammation, such as infection or acute pain, codes from N70-N73 should be used instead.
