About 0UWH41Z

0UWH41Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vagina and cul-de-sac using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with radioactive element. In ICD-10-PCS, revision means correcting, to the extent possible, a portion of a malfunctioning device or the position of a displaced device.

In plain terms, this corresponds to Culdotomy and other vaginotomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure titles it maps to (70.12 and 70.14).

For a different body part, codes include 0UWD41Z (uterus and cervix).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UWH01Z (open), 0UWH31Z (percutaneous), 0UWH71Z (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UWH81Z (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

With a different device, use 0UWH40Z (drainage device), 0UWH43Z (infusion device), 0UWH47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0UWH4DZ (intraluminal device), 0UWH4JZ (synthetic substitute), 0UWH4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute) and 1 more.

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 746 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures with CC/MCC) and DRG 747 (Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Vagina, Cervix and Vulva Procedures”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
