Why ICD-10 codes are important
Pelvic adhesions are scar tissue. This scar tissue can grow between two organs in the pelvic area and cause significant pelvic pain. Pelvic adhesions can occur around the bladder, bowel, ureter, uterus and ovaries. These can result from infections, endometriosis, or prior surgery, including Cesarean deliveries.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
R10.2 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of pelvic and perineal pain. The code R10.2 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that can cause internal organs to be stuck together when they are not supposed to be.
Pelvic adhesive disease is a condition in which scar tissue binds adjacent organs to each other. The organs in your abdominal cavity are covered with smooth slippery tissue that allows adjacent organs to glide easily against each other.

Lysis of adhesions are mostly included in the laparoscopic procedure. The adhesion sometimes increases the physician work.
Laparoscopic adhesiolysis, also known as keyhole surgery, is a process where laparoscopy is used to remove adhesions by either cutting them off by scalpel or else by electric current. Laparoscope provides clear and precise visualization and magnification of the adhesions and the affected organs.
5. Laparoscopic lysis of adhesions (CPT codes 44180 or 58660) is not separately reportable with other surgical laparoscopic procedures.
