A fistulectomy is a procedure that fully removes the fistulous tract. This increases the likelihood of damage to the sphincters and is therefore often not preferred. However, this may be necessary if there is a large amount of tissue that is blocking normal function, or if there is a high likelihood of recurrence.
Q52. 2 - Congenital rectovaginal fistula | ICD-10-CM.
The most important complications of fistulae for HD are lymphedema, infection, aneurysm, stenosis, congestive heart failure, steal syndrome, ischemic neuropathy and thrombosis. In HD patients, the most common cause of vascular access failure is neointimal hyperplasia.
The vascular system includes arteries, veins and capillaries (which connect arteries and veins). An acquired arteriovenous fistula (AV fistula) is a condition where there is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein. Normally, blood flows from arteries into capillaries and then into veins.
An AV fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, and is sometimes surgically created to help with haemodialysis treatment. In these cases, a shunt graft is inserted to aid the treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes the shunt will fail, known as graft malfunction.
A fistula-in-ano represents the chronic phase of ongoing perianal infection. It is a granulating tract between the anorectum and the perianal region or perineum. A typical fistula usually consists of a tract with a primary (internal) opening and a secondary (external) opening.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
