Unsp injury of unspecified urinary and pelvic organ, sequela

This code indicates a long-term consequence or complication arising from an injury to an unspecified organ within the urinary or pelvic system. The original injury itself is not specified, nor is the exact organ involved, making this a very general diagnosis for a chronic or late-effect condition.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a sequela (late effect) of a past injury to a urinary or pelvic organ, but the specific organ or the nature of the original injury is not documented or is unknown. This code is appropriate when more specific codes for the sequela or the affected organ are unavailable or cannot be determined from the medical record.

• Always strive for a more specific code if the affected organ and/or the nature of the original injury can be identified.
• This code should be used as a secondary diagnosis, following a code for the specific sequela (e.g., chronic pain, incontinence).
• Ensure the "S" (sequela) seventh character is appropriate for the encounter, indicating a late effect.
