Artificial vagina status

This code indicates a patient's current state of having an artificially constructed vagina. This surgical creation, often performed for gender affirmation or to address congenital anomalies like vaginal agenesis, signifies the presence of a neovagina.

Use this code for patients who have undergone vaginoplasty or similar procedures to create a functional vagina. It is appropriate for follow-up care, management of complications related to the artificial vagina, or when the presence of the artificial vagina is relevant to the patient's overall medical status.

• Always code the underlying reason for the artificial vagina (e.g., gender identity disorder, congenital absence of vagina) in addition to this status code.
• This is a status code, indicating a permanent condition, and should be used as a secondary diagnosis.
• Do not use this code for patients with a naturally occurring vagina, regardless of reconstructive procedures on an existing vagina.
