Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified (H59)
ICD-10 code section H59 covers intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of the eye and its surrounding structures (adnexa) that are not classified elsewhere. This section specifically addresses complications arising during or after eye surgeries, notably cataract procedures, including various disorders such as keratopathy and hemorrhage.
This section includes detailed codes like H59.01 for bullous aphakic keratopathy following cataract surgery, which is also known as aphakic corneal edema or bullous keratopathy. Codes such as H59.021 identify retained cataract lens fragments in the right eye post-surgery. Additionally, cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery is coded under H59.03, with subcodes specifying eye laterality. Other intraoperative complications like hemorrhage, hematoma, and accidental puncture are coded from H59.1 to H59.2. Infections or inflammation of post-surgical blebs are under H59.4, which includes terms like postoperative endophthalmitis and blebitis. More complex or less specific complications, such as chorioretinal scars after detachment surgery and postoperative seromas, are found under H59.8. Overall, the ICD-10 code for these eye-related surgical complications enables precise tracking and documentation of a wide range of conditions resulting from ophthalmic procedures.

Instructional Notations
Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
