Superfic endometriosis of the bi uterosacral ligament(s)

This code signifies the presence of endometrial tissue, similar to the uterine lining, on the surface of both uterosacral ligaments. These ligaments are crucial pelvic structures supporting the uterus. This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and infertility.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states superficial endometriosis affecting both uterosacral ligaments. This diagnosis is typically made during laparoscopic examination or other surgical procedures where direct visualization and/or biopsy confirms the location and superficial nature of the endometrial implants.

• Ensure documentation specifies "superficial" involvement; deep infiltrating endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments would be coded differently.
• Verify laterality; this code is specific to bilateral involvement. Unilateral involvement would require a different code.
• Do not confuse with other pelvic endometriosis sites; confirm the uterosacral ligaments are the documented location.
