Laceration without foreign body of left eyelid and periocular area
ICD-10 S01.112 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of laceration without foreign body of left eyelid and periocular area.
S01.112 refers to a laceration of the left eyelid and periocular area that does not involve any foreign body. This type of injury can occur due to various mechanisms such as blunt trauma, sharp objects, or accidental injuries. The eyelid and surrounding areas are particularly vulnerable due to their anatomical structure and the presence of delicate tissues. Clinically, such lacerations may present with bleeding, swelling, and potential disruption of eyelid function. The periocular area includes the skin surrounding the eye, which may also be affected. Proper assessment is crucial to determine the extent of the injury, including any involvement of deeper structures such as muscles or nerves. Management typically involves cleaning the wound, assessing for any need for sutures, and ensuring that the injury does not compromise vision or eyelid function. Follow-up care is essential to monitor for complications such as infection or scarring.
Documentation must include a detailed description of the injury, mechanism of injury, and initial treatment provided.
Patients presenting with lacerations from falls, sports injuries, or accidents involving sharp objects.
Ensure that all relevant details about the injury and treatment are documented to support the coding.
Operative reports should detail the surgical approach, any repairs performed, and post-operative care.
Surgical repair of eyelid lacerations requiring suturing or reconstruction.
Document any complications or additional procedures performed during surgery.
Used when suturing a laceration of the left eyelid.
Operative report detailing the repair procedure and any complications.
Ensure that the procedure is documented in the context of the injury.
S01.112 is used for lacerations without foreign bodies, while S01.111 is for lacerations that involve foreign bodies. Accurate documentation of the injury is essential for correct coding.
