Damage to pelvic organs following incomplete spon abortion

This code describes injury or trauma to the pelvic organs (e.g., uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, bladder, rectum) that occurs as a complication of a spontaneous abortion that was not fully completed. This damage can result from retained products of conception, infection, or instrumentation during an incomplete miscarriage.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates damage to pelvic organs directly resulting from an incomplete spontaneous abortion. This typically involves findings such as uterine perforation, pelvic abscess, or other organ injury identified during examination or surgical intervention following a miscarriage where tissue remains.

• Ensure documentation specifies incomplete spontaneous abortion and clearly links the pelvic organ damage to this event.
• Code any specific pelvic organ damage (e.g., uterine perforation) as an additional diagnosis if further detail is provided.
• Do not use this code for damage unrelated to the spontaneous abortion or for complications of a complete spontaneous abortion.
