Intraop hemor/hemtom of endo sys org comp an endo sys proc

This code signifies an abnormal collection of blood (hematoma) or active bleeding (hemorrhage) occurring during a surgical procedure on an endocrine gland or structure. This complication arises directly from the surgical intervention itself, rather than being a pre-existing condition.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates intraoperative bleeding or hematoma formation during a procedure such as a thyroidectomy, parathyroidectomy, adrenalectomy, or pancreatectomy. The physician's operative report should detail the hemorrhage or hematoma and its management during the surgery.

• Always sequence this code after the primary procedure code.
• Ensure the documentation specifies "intraoperative" to differentiate from postoperative complications.
• Do not use for hemorrhage or hematoma unrelated to the surgical intervention on an endocrine organ.
