Acquired absence of uterus with remaining cervical stump

This code describes the condition where a patient no longer has a uterus due to a prior surgical removal (hysterectomy), but a portion of the cervix was intentionally or unintentionally left behind. This is distinct from a complete hysterectomy where the entire uterus and cervix are removed.

This code is appropriate for documenting a patient's history of a subtotal hysterectomy or supracervical hysterectomy. It should be used when the presence of a cervical stump is a relevant clinical finding, such as during follow-up for potential cervical stump pathologies or when considering future gynecological procedures.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies that the uterus is absent and a cervical stump remains.
• Do not use this code if the entire uterus, including the cervix, was removed (total hysterectomy).
• Consider additional codes for any associated complications or reasons for the original hysterectomy, if still relevant to the current encounter.
