Intraop hemor/hemtom of right eye and adnexa comp oth proc

This code signifies the occurrence of bleeding or a localized collection of blood within the right eye or its surrounding structures that develops during a separate surgical procedure. This complication is distinct from hemorrhage or hematoma that might be an expected part of the primary surgical field.

Assign this code when documentation clearly indicates an unexpected intraoperative hemorrhage or hematoma affecting the right eye or adnexa during a procedure other than one specifically addressing ocular bleeding. Supporting documentation should specify the laterality (right eye) and the timing (intraoperative).

• Always sequence this code after the code for the primary procedure that was complicated.
• Ensure documentation specifies "intraoperative" and the affected eye (right).
• Do not use for postoperative hemorrhage or hematoma; refer to codes in H59.2- or T81.0- for those scenarios.
