When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the T19 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section T19 covers diagnoses related to the presence of a foreign body in various parts of the genitourinary tract. These codes are used to specify injuries or complications caused by objects lodged in any region from the urethra to the bladder, vulva, uterus, penis, and other related structures.
Each location within the genitourinary system has specific subcodes, such as T19.0 for foreign bodies in the urethra, T19.1 for the bladder, and T19.2 for the vulva and vagina. The terms “foreign body in urinary tract,” “foreign body in vagina,” or “foreign body under foreskin” often correspond to these codes, helping clarify the proper code selection. These codes further differentiate the encounter type—initial (e.g., T19.0XXA), subsequent (T19.0XXD), or sequela (T19.0XXS)—to capture the treatment stage. Using the ICD-10 code for foreign body in genitourinary tract allows precise documentation of injuries or complications from retained objects essential for medical record accuracy and treatment planning.
