Uterovaginal prolapse, or pelvic organ prolapse, refers to a collection of conditions that arise due to a decrease in the integrity of the vaginal support structures, leading to a herniation of surrounding organs into the vagina.
A sacrocolpopexy is a surgical procedure used to treat pelvic organ prolapse, which is caused by a weakening of the normal support of the pelvic floor. The surgery and recovery are described.
Vaginal prolapse, also known as vaginal vault prolapse, occurs when the top of the vagina weakens and collapses into the vaginal canal. In more serious cases of vaginal prolapse, the top of the vagina may bulge outside the vaginal opening.
During a pelvic exam, your doctor inserts two gloved fingers inside your vagina. While simultaneously pressing down on your abdomen, he or she can evaluate your uterus, ovaries and other pelvic organs. A diagnosis of uterine prolapse generally occurs during a pelvic exam.

Sacrocolpopexy, also known as sacral colpopexy, is a type of reconstructive pelvic surgery that corrects pelvic organ prolapse involving the top of the vagina (vaginal vault) or the cervix (lower part of the uterus) that have dropped out of the normal position and protrude downward into the vagina.
First-degree prolapse: The uterus droops into the lower portion of the vagina. Second-degree prolapse: The uterus falls to the level of the vaginal opening. Third-degree prolapse: The cervix, which is located at the bottom of the uterus, sags to the vaginal opening and protrudes outside the body.
A posterior vaginal prolapse occurs when the thin wall of tissue that separates the rectum from the vagina weakens, allowing the vaginal wall to bulge. Posterior vaginal prolapse is also called a rectocele (REK-toe-seel).
The modified McCall Culdoplasty procedure is a relatively simple procedure that is performed after removal of the uterus and cervix from the apex of the vagina wherein the angles of the vagina are attached to their respective uterosacral ligament and the cul-de-sac is surgically obliterated for support postoperatively.
Urethrocele is a problem with the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. This tube is called the urethra. When the urethra sags or presses into the vagina, it is called urethrocele or urethral prolapse. This problem happens when the pelvic muscles and tissues get weak or damaged.
Procidentia is a severe form of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) that includes herniation of the anterior, posterior, and apical vaginal compartments through the vaginal introitus. Pelvic organ prolapse can include all three compartments, such as in procidentia, or individual compartments.
Third-degree prolapse: The vagina or womb has dropped down so much that up to 1 cm of it is bulging out of the vaginal opening. Fourth-degree prolapse: More than 1 cm of the vagina or womb is bulging out of the vaginal opening.
Uterine prolapse is a form of female genital prolapse. It is also called pelvic organ prolapse or prolapse of the uterus (womb).

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 618.4 was previously used, N81.4 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
