Other noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri
Chapter 14:Diseases of the genitourinary system
ICD-10 N88 is a used to indicate a diagnosis of other noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri.
The ICD-10 Level 1 Category code N88 pertains to 'Other noninflammatory disorders of cervix uteri', which encompasses a range of conditions affecting the cervix that are not primarily caused by inflammation. This category includes disorders such as cervical dysplasia, cervical polyps, and other benign lesions that may not exhibit inflammatory characteristics. Clinically, these conditions can have significant implications for women's health, as they may lead to abnormal cervical screening results and require further evaluation or intervention to prevent progression to more serious conditions, such as cervical cancer. Proper identification and coding of these disorders are essential for appropriate patient management and treatment planning.
Detailed patient history, physical examination findings, results of Pap smears, colposcopy, and any imaging studies.
Management of cervical dysplasia, follow-up for abnormal Pap results, evaluation of cervical polyps.
Cervical conditions may require additional coding for associated procedures such as biopsies or excisional surgeries.
Prenatal records, obstetric history, and results of cervical assessments during pregnancy.
Monitoring cervical changes during pregnancy, managing cervical insufficiency.
Documenting any interventions related to cervical disorders in pregnant patients is crucial for appropriate care.
Histopathological reports, details of biopsy specimens, and associated findings.
Interpretation of biopsy results for cervical dysplasia or polyps, assessing benign versus malignant lesions.
Accurate coding of the pathology findings is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
Patient consent, specimen collection details, and results of the cytology report.
Indications for biopsy, procedure details, and pathology report following the biopsy.
Colposcopy findings, details of any biopsies taken, and follow-up plans.
Patient consent, details of the procedure, and follow-up care instructions.
N88 includes noninflammatory disorders such as cervical dysplasia, cervical polyps, and other benign lesions of the cervix that do not involve inflammation.
N88 codes should be used when diagnosing noninflammatory conditions of the cervix that require monitoring or intervention, particularly when inflammatory conditions have been ruled out.
Documentation must include a clear diagnosis of the noninflammatory condition, any relevant history, and details of any diagnostic procedures or treatments performed.
