Postproc hemor of a GU sys org following a GU sys procedure

This code signifies bleeding that occurs after a surgical or invasive procedure performed on any organ or structure within the genitourinary system. It represents a complication where hemorrhage develops as a direct result of the genitourinary intervention.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states post-procedural bleeding originating from a genitourinary site following a genitourinary procedure. Examples include hematuria after cystoscopy, scrotal hematoma after vasectomy, or vaginal bleeding after hysterectomy. The medical record must specify the genitourinary procedure and the subsequent hemorrhage.

• Always sequence this code after the code for the specific complication (e.g., hematuria R31.0, vaginal bleeding N93.8).
• Do not use this code for hemorrhage unrelated to a genitourinary procedure.
• Ensure the documentation specifies the procedure was performed on a genitourinary organ or structure.
