About ICD-9-CM 71.72

71.72 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for repair of fistula of vulva or perineum. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 20 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQN0ZZ (Repair Sigmoid Colon, Open Approach), 0DQN3ZZ (Repair Sigmoid Colon, Percutaneous Approach) and 0DQN4ZZ (Repair Sigmoid Colon, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
