Other female urinary-genital tract fistulae

This code represents an abnormal connection between the female urinary tract and the genital tract, excluding vesicovaginal, urethrovaginal, and rectovaginal fistulae. These fistulae can involve various other structures such as the ureter, uterus, or fallopian tubes communicating with the vagina or other genital organs. They often result from surgical complications, radiation therapy, trauma, or inflammatory processes.

Use this code when documentation specifies a fistula between the female urinary and genital tracts that is not otherwise classified. This includes conditions like ureterovaginal, uterovaginal, or fallopian tube-vaginal fistulae. Documentation should clearly identify the specific anatomical sites involved in the abnormal connection.

• Ensure the documentation specifies the exact anatomical sites of the fistula to differentiate from more specific codes.
• Do not use this code for vesicovaginal (N82.0), urethrovaginal (N82.2), or rectovaginal (N82.3) fistulae.
• Code any underlying cause or associated complications, such as infection or urinary incontinence, separately.
