Laceration of fallopian tube, unilateral, sequela

This code signifies a laceration of a single fallopian tube that has occurred in the past and is now presenting with a sequela, or a late effect. This indicates the initial injury has healed, but the patient is experiencing ongoing issues directly attributable to that prior trauma.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current condition (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, infertility) that is a direct consequence of a previously sustained, unilateral fallopian tube laceration. This code is used for the sequela itself, not the acute injury.

• Always code the specific sequela first, followed by this code to indicate the etiology.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to the past fallopian tube laceration.
• Verify laterality (unilateral) is supported by the medical record.
