Acquired absence of both cervix and uterus

📋Clinical Description

This code indicates a patient who has undergone a total hysterectomy, including removal of the cervix. This condition is an acquired state, meaning the organs were present at birth but subsequently removed due to medical necessity.

🎯When to Use

Assign this code for patients who have had both their uterus and cervix surgically removed. This is commonly seen following a total hysterectomy performed for conditions such as uterine cancer, severe endometriosis, or intractable uterine bleeding.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies removal of both the uterus and cervix.
Do not use for congenital absence; this code is strictly for acquired absence.
This code is typically used as a secondary diagnosis to explain the patient's current anatomical status.
