Endometriosis of bi uterosacral ligament(s), unsp depth

This code signifies the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, specifically affecting both the right and left uterosacral ligaments. These ligaments are crucial for uterine support and are a common site for endometriosis, often leading to chronic pelvic pain. The "unspecified depth" indicates that the extent of tissue infiltration into the ligament is not documented.

This code is appropriate when documentation confirms endometriosis involving both uterosacral ligaments, but the physician does not specify the depth of invasion (e.g., superficial vs. deep infiltrating). It is typically used following diagnostic procedures such as laparoscopy or imaging studies that identify the bilateral involvement without further detail on depth.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "bilateral" involvement of the uterosacral ligaments.
• If the depth of infiltration is specified (e.g., superficial, deep), a more specific code within the N80.3- series should be used.
• Always sequence this code after any underlying cause or associated complications, if applicable.
