Old laceration or scarring of vulva

This code signifies the presence of a healed laceration or scar tissue on the vulva, indicating a past injury or surgical intervention in this anatomical area. It describes a chronic or residual finding rather than an acute injury.

Assign this code when documentation explicitly states "old laceration of vulva," "vulvar scarring," or "healed vulvar tear." This is appropriate for sequelae of obstetric trauma, prior surgical incisions, or healed non-obstetric injuries to the external female genitalia.

• Do not use for acute lacerations; those require codes from the 660.x or 670.x series if obstetric, or 878.x if non-obstetric.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "old" or "scarring" to differentiate from current, active injuries.
• Consider sequencing this code after any primary condition or reason for the encounter, as it often represents a historical finding.
