About 0UWH8KZ

0UWH8KZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a revision procedure on the vagina and cul-de-sac using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach with nonautologous tissue substitute. 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 0UW88KZ (fallopian tube) and 0UWD8KZ (uterus and cervix).

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UWH0KZ (open), 0UWH3KZ (percutaneous), 0UWH4KZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UWH7KZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UWHXKZ (external).

With a different device, use 0UWH80Z (drainage device), 0UWH81Z (radioactive element), 0UWH83Z (infusion device), 0UWH87Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0UWH8DZ (intraluminal device), 0UWH8JZ (synthetic 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.
