Why ICD-10 codes are important
A bladder diverticulum is a pouch in the bladder wall that a person may either be born with ("congenital") or get later ("acquired"). A congenital bladder diverticulum forms when some of the bladder lining pokes through a weak part in the bladder wall.
Hutch diverticulum is a rare entity thought to be a congenital failure of normal muscle development around the ureteral orifice where Waldeyers heath anatomically covers the space between the intravesical ureter and muscular layer of bladder.

The prevalence of bladder diverticula in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is approximately 6%. Although many bladder diverticula are asymptomatic, they can be incidentally discovered on evaluation for hematuria, bladder outlet obstruction, or urinary tract infection.
Bladder diverticulectomy is a surgical operation for symptomatic or large bladder diverticula. Typically, bladder diverticula are because of infravesical obstruction, although congenital diverticula can occur that may be large and symptomatic.
Diverticula are small bulges or pockets that can develop in the lining of the intestine as you get older. Most people with diverticula do not get any symptoms and only know they have them after having a scan for another reason. When there are no symptoms, it is called diverticulosis.
Diverticulosis occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) develop in your digestive tract. When one or more of these pouches become inflamed or infected, the condition is called diverticulitis.
ICD-10 code K57. 90 for Diverticulosis of intestine, part unspecified, without perforation or abscess without bleeding is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
