2025 ICD-10-CM code N80.3B3
Deep endometriosis of bilateral uterosacral ligament(s).
Medical necessity for treatment of deep endometriosis depends on factors like the severity of the symptoms and their impact on quality of life. Treatments like hormone therapy or surgery may be medically necessary when conservative management fails.
In simple words: The presence of endometrial tissue (the tissue that normally lines the uterus) in the ligaments that connect the uterus to the sacrum, deeply embedded within the tissue on both sides.
Deep endometriosis of bilateral uterosacral ligament(s).
Example 1: A 35-year-old female presents with chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia. Imaging reveals the presence of deep endometriosis affecting both uterosacral ligaments. Code N80.3B3 is used to specify the location and depth of the endometriosis., During a laparoscopic surgery for infertility evaluation, deep endometriosis is found infiltrating the bilateral uterosacral ligaments. The surgeon documents the findings and uses code N80.3B3., A patient with a history of endometriosis undergoes a pelvic MRI for persistent pelvic pain. The MRI reveals deep endometriosis of the bilateral uterosacral ligaments, consistent with her symptoms. This is coded as N80.3B3.
Documentation should support the diagnosis of deep endometriosis and specify the involvement of the bilateral uterosacral ligaments. This may include imaging reports (ultrasound, MRI), surgical findings, or clinical documentation of symptoms consistent with deep endometriosis in this location.
