Patient is status post vaginal hysterectomy w/ bso. She came to the office with a 1 mm separation of the vaginal cuff. The doctor was unable to stitch due to a narrow vagina, so she used silver nitrate to cauterize the cuff.

I have 998.31 for the diagnosis code, is that right?

What code would I use for the repair? None of the repair codes seem to fit.

Thanks!

Lisa
