Other specified fistulas involving female genital tract

This code signifies the presence of an abnormal, pathological tract or opening between the female genital tract and another organ or body surface, excluding those specifically classified elsewhere (e.g., vesicovaginal, rectovaginal). These fistulas can involve various parts of the female reproductive system, such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries, connecting to structures like the bowel, bladder, or skin.

Use this code when documentation clearly identifies a fistula involving the female genital tract that is not a vesicovaginal, rectovaginal, or other explicitly coded type. Examples include uterocutaneous, uterointestinal, or fallopian tube-cutaneous fistulas. Physician notes should specify the exact anatomical locations involved in the abnormal connection.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the type of fistula and the organs involved to confirm it's not a more specific code.
• Do not use for fistulas explicitly coded elsewhere in ICD-9-CM (e.g., 619.0-619.2 for vesicovaginal or rectovaginal).
• Always sequence this code after the primary condition or complication leading to the fistula, if applicable.
