About the D78 Code Range
Complications involving the spleen can occur during a procedure or afterward. They include bleeding, collections of blood or fluid, and accidental punctures or cuts.
D78 groups these complications by what happened and when. D78.0 covers bleeding or a blood collection during a procedure; D78.1 covers accidental puncture or cuts. D78.2 covers bleeding afterward, while D78.3 separates blood collections from fluid collections afterward. These groups distinguish procedures on the spleen from other procedures. D78.8 separates other complications by whether they occurred during or after a procedure.
