Surgical operation and other surgical procedures as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure (Y83)
The ICD-10 code Y83 series identifies abnormal patient reactions or later complications caused by surgical operations or procedures without evidence of misadventure during the procedure. These codes specify the type of surgery involved when such complications arise.
This code range includes detailed categories such as Y83.0 for issues related to whole organ transplants, encompassing conditions like liver transplant disorder and accelerated rejection of renal transplants. Y83.1 covers complications from implants of artificial internal devices, such as resorption of bone grafts. For surgeries involving anastomosis, bypass, or grafting, Y83.2 addresses complications like vascular graft stenosis and anastomotic leakage. Other related codes cover complications after formation of external stomas (Y83.3), reconstructive surgery failures (Y83.4), limb amputations (Y83.5), and removal of organs (Y83.6). Additionally, Y83.8 includes other surgical complications such as post-surgical malabsorption, while Y83.9 applies when the surgical procedure causing the adverse reaction is unspecified.
Medical coders use these codes to report and track surgical complications precisely. For example, if a patient experiences postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak after brain surgery, the relevant ICD-10 code would be Y83.9. Recognizing these codes helps document adverse surgical outcomes accurately without implying operator error or procedural mishap.
