Personal history of in utero procedure during pregnancy

This code indicates that a patient has a documented history of having undergone a medical procedure while they were still in their mother's uterus. This procedure was performed to address a fetal condition or anomaly prior to birth. It signifies a past intervention, not an ongoing issue or complication from that procedure in a current pregnancy.

Use this code when documenting a patient's medical history, specifically when they have a record of having received an in utero procedure themselves. This is relevant for ongoing care, risk assessment, or when considering potential long-term effects of such interventions. It should be applied when the patient is the individual who received the in utero procedure.

• Do not use this code for complications arising from an in utero procedure during a current pregnancy; refer to the O35.7 category.
• This code is for the patient's own history of an in utero procedure, not for a pregnant patient whose fetus is currently undergoing or has undergone an in utero procedure.
• Ensure documentation clearly states the patient, not their offspring, was the recipient of the in utero procedure.
