Superficial endometriosis of the right pelvic sidewall

This code signifies the presence of endometrial tissue implants on the surface of the right pelvic sidewall. These implants are typically small and do not deeply invade the underlying tissue. It represents a specific anatomical location for superficial endometriosis.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states superficial endometriosis affecting the right pelvic sidewall. This diagnosis is often confirmed during laparoscopic examination or other surgical procedures where the location of the endometrial implants is visually identified and recorded.

• Ensure documentation specifies "superficial" and "right pelvic sidewall" to accurately assign this code.
• Do not use this code for deep infiltrating endometriosis or endometriosis affecting other pelvic sites.
• Consider sequencing with codes for associated symptoms (e.g., chronic pelvic pain) or infertility, if documented.
