Maternal care for benign tumor of corpus uteri
ICD-10 O34.1 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of maternal care for benign tumor of corpus uteri.
O34.1 refers to maternal care for benign tumors located in the corpus uteri, which can include conditions such as fibroids or adenomyosis. These tumors may not pose immediate risks to the pregnancy but can complicate maternal care and delivery. The presence of a benign tumor can lead to increased monitoring during pregnancy, particularly if the tumor is large or symptomatic. It may also influence the mode of delivery, especially in cases where the tumor obstructs the birth canal or is associated with previous cesarean deliveries. Careful assessment of the tumor's size, location, and symptoms is essential for managing the pregnancy effectively. Additionally, the presence of uterine scarring from previous cesarean sections may complicate the management of benign tumors, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to ensure both maternal and fetal safety throughout the pregnancy and delivery process.
Detailed documentation of the tumor's size, location, and symptoms, as well as any interventions planned or performed.
Management of a pregnant patient with a known fibroid, monitoring for complications, and planning for delivery.
Consideration of the impact of the tumor on labor and delivery, including potential need for cesarean delivery.
Comprehensive documentation of maternal and fetal assessments, including imaging studies and consultations.
High-risk pregnancies involving large fibroids or significant uterine scarring requiring specialized management.
Close monitoring of fetal growth and maternal health, with potential for surgical intervention if complications arise.
Used when a cesarean delivery is performed due to complications from a benign tumor.
Documentation must include indication for cesarean related to the tumor.
Obstetricians must document the rationale for surgical intervention.
Documentation should include the size and location of the benign tumor, any symptoms experienced by the patient, previous obstetric history, and the management plan during pregnancy.
