In simple words: This code describes a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in the ligaments supporting the uterus, on both sides.The depth of this tissue growth isn't specified.

This ICD-10-CM code classifies endometriosis affecting both uterosacral ligaments, where the depth of the endometrial tissue infiltration is not specified.The uterosacral ligaments are fibrous connective tissues that support the uterus. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus.

Example 1: A 35-year-old female patient presents with chronic pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.Imaging reveals endometriosis involving both uterosacral ligaments. The depth of the lesions cannot be definitively determined via imaging alone.Code N80.3C3 is assigned., A 40-year-old female patient undergoes laparoscopic surgery for suspected endometriosis.During the procedure, endometrial implants are found on both uterosacral ligaments. The surgeon notes the depth of the lesions is variable and not easily quantifiable during the procedure. N80.3C3 is applied., A 28-year-old female patient has a history of infertility.Diagnostic laparoscopy confirms bilateral uterosacral ligament endometriosis of uncertain depth.N80.3C3 is used to reflect this finding and the uncertain depth of the lesions. Further investigation may be necessary.

The documentation should include the patient's history of symptoms (e.g., pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, infertility), findings from physical examination, results of any imaging studies (ultrasound, MRI), and surgical reports if surgery was performed.The report should clearly indicate the bilateral involvement of the uterosacral ligaments and specify that the depth of the endometriosis is unspecified.

** This code is used when the depth of the endometriosis in the bilateral uterosacral ligaments is not specified or cannot be determined.Accurate documentation is crucial for proper coding.
