Other injury of ovary, unilateral, sequela

This code signifies a long-term or residual effect from a past injury to a single ovary. It indicates that the initial traumatic event has resolved, but the patient continues to experience a related issue or complication affecting one ovary.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with ongoing symptoms or complications directly attributable to a prior, resolved injury to one ovary. Examples include chronic pain, adhesions, or functional impairment of the ovary resulting from a past trauma.

• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a previous ovarian injury and specifies laterality.
• Always sequence this sequela code after the code for the specific manifestation or current symptom.
• Verify that the injury is unilateral; if both ovaries are affected, a different code set would be appropriate.
