Cervical stump prolapse

This code signifies the descent or protrusion of the remaining portion of the cervix into or through the vaginal canal following a supracervical hysterectomy. It represents a form of pelvic organ prolapse specifically affecting the cervical stump.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates prolapse of the cervical stump. This condition is typically diagnosed during a pelvic examination and may be described as a visible or palpable mass at the introitus, or as a sensation of pressure or "something falling out."

• Ensure the documentation specifies "cervical stump" to differentiate from other forms of uterine or vaginal vault prolapse.
• Code any associated symptoms, such as urinary incontinence (N39.3-N39.49) or pelvic pain (R10.2), as secondary diagnoses.
• Do not confuse with N81.0-N81.4 for uterine prolapse in a patient with an intact uterus, or N81.6 for vaginal vault prolapse after total hysterectomy.
