Contusion of other urinary and pelvic organ, sequela

This code signifies a bruise or bleeding into the tissues of a urinary or pelvic organ other than the kidney, bladder, ureter, or urethra, occurring as a long-term effect or complication of an initial injury. It indicates that the original contusion has resolved, but its lasting impact, such as chronic pain, scarring, or functional impairment, is still present and requires ongoing management.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with persistent symptoms directly attributable to a past contusion of an organ like the prostate, seminal vesicle, or fallopian tube. This applies when the acute injury has healed, but the patient continues to experience sequelae. Examples include chronic pelvic pain following a resolved ovarian contusion or urinary dysfunction due to scarring from a past prostatic contusion.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, scarring).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past contusion of a specified "other" urinary or pelvic organ.
• Verify that the "S" seventh character is appropriate, indicating a sequela, and not an acute injury or subsequent encounter for healing.
