Endometriosis of uterosacral ligmt(s), unsp side, unsp depth

This code signifies the presence of endometrial-like tissue growing on the uterosacral ligaments, which are connective tissues supporting the uterus. This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, and other symptoms related to endometriosis. The "unspecified side, unspecified depth" indicates that the exact laterality or extent of the endometrial implants on the ligament is not documented.

Use this code when documentation confirms endometriosis affecting the uterosacral ligament(s) but does not specify whether it's on the left, right, or both sides, nor the depth of invasion. This code is appropriate when the provider's notes indicate "endometriosis of uterosacral ligament" without further detail. Supporting documentation would include operative reports, pathology reports, or physician notes describing the location of the endometrial implants.

• Avoid using this code if the laterality (left or right) of the uterosacral ligament involvement is specified; instead, select a more specific code.
• Do not use this code if the depth of the endometriosis is documented (e.g., superficial vs. deep infiltrating); look for codes that specify depth.
• Consider sequencing this code after a code for generalized endometriosis if the uterosacral ligament involvement is a specific manifestation of a broader condition.
