In simple words: The presence of endometrial tissue (the tissue that normally lines the uterus) abnormally located outside the uterus, specifically at the right uterosacral ligament. The depth of the infiltration into the ligament is not specified.

Endometriosis of the right uterosacral ligament, unspecified depth.

Example 1: A 35-year-old female patient presents with chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. During a laparoscopic examination, endometrial implants are visualized on the right uterosacral ligament without clearly defined depth of infiltration, hence coded as N80.3C1., A patient with known endometriosis undergoes a follow-up MRI of the pelvis. The report indicates the presence of endometriosis on the right uterosacral ligament, depth unspecified, confirming previous findings (N80.3C1). , A 40-year-old woman experiences infertility and undergoes a diagnostic laparoscopy. Endometrial tissue is discovered on the right uterosacral ligament. The depth of involvement is not documented in the operative report, making N80.3C1 the appropriate code.

Details of the diagnostic methods used (e.g., pelvic examination, imaging, laparoscopy), location and laterality of the endometriosis, description of the size and depth of infiltration (if specified), associated symptoms, and impact on the patient's reproductive health.

** N80.3C1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. As of December 01, 2024, the information provided is current. However, coding guidelines and medical practices can change, so it is crucial to verify information with authoritative sources and payer-specific policies.Using resources like iFrameAI can ensure the most accurate and current coding practices are implemented.
