Damage to pelvic organs following complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of damage to pelvic organs following a spontaneous abortion.The need for specific interventions (e.g., surgical repair, medication) should be clearly documented.
The physician is responsible for diagnosing the specific pelvic organ damage and providing appropriate treatment.This includes a thorough examination, imaging studies if necessary, and consultation with specialists as needed (e.g., urologist, gynecologist, surgeon).
In simple words: This code indicates injury to organs in the pelvic area after a miscarriage where the pregnancy tissue has either completely or partially passed.
This code describes damage to pelvic organs following a complete or unspecified spontaneous abortion.This includes laceration, perforation, tear, or chemical damage to organs such as the bladder, bowel, broad ligament, cervix, periurethral tissue, uterus, or vagina.
Example 1: A 32-year-old woman presents with a complete spontaneous abortion at 10 weeks gestation. During the process, she sustained a laceration to her cervix., A 28-year-old woman experiences an unspecified spontaneous abortion at 12 weeks gestation.Follow-up examination reveals a perforation of the uterus., A 35-year-old woman has a complete spontaneous abortion at 14 weeks gestation complicated by chemical damage to the bladder due to retained products of conception.
Documentation should include the type of spontaneous abortion (complete or unspecified), the specific pelvic organ(s) damaged, the nature of the damage (laceration, perforation, tear, chemical), and any associated complications. Imaging reports, operative notes, and consultation reports should also be included as appropriate.
