ICD-10-PCS Code For Vagina: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group XU7G includes procedures performed to dilate structures in the vagina. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when a temporary electromechanical intraluminal device is used to expand the vaginal lumen via a natural or artificial opening. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS XU7G group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the specific procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Vagina Dilation Procedure Overview

The procedures in this ICD-10-PCS code group involve dilation of the vagina using a temporary electromechanical intraluminal device and target the female reproductive system. These procedures expand the vaginal lumen to improve access or relieve stenosis and are performed via a natural or artificial opening. Accurate coding ensures the inpatient record reflects the specific intervention performed and supports correct reimbursement and case mix assignment.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when an electromechanical intraluminal device is temporarily placed to dilate the vaginal lumen during an inpatient encounter. Select these codes when the primary operation is dilation of the vagina and documentation specifies the use of a temporary electromechanical device.

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
XU7G71B	Dilation of Vagina with Temporary Electromechanical Intraluminal Device, Via Natural or Artificial Opening, New Technology Group 11

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A postmenopausal woman with progressive vaginal stenosis after pelvic radiation presents with severe dyspareunia and difficulty with pelvic examinations; she is admitted for a planned inpatient dilatation under monitored anesthesia to restore luminal caliber and allow future surveillance and treatment. The temporary electromechanical intraluminal device is used to gradually expand the vaginal canal over the procedure session. Typical codes: XU7G71B
A reproductive-age patient with dense intravaginal scarring following multiple vaginal deliveries and failed outpatient manual dilator therapy is scheduled for inpatient controlled dilation to optimize anatomy prior to reconstructive surgery. The electromechanical intraluminal device provides consistent, titratable expansion of the vaginal lumen to facilitate subsequent operative repair. Typical codes: XU7G71B
An inpatient who developed acute postoperative vaginal contracture and functional obstruction after pelvic reconstructive surgery is taken back to the operating room for urgent dilation to relieve obstruction and prevent wound dehiscence; a temporary electromechanical intraluminal device is placed during the procedure to achieve and maintain lumen patency. Typical codes: XU7G71B
