Damage to pelvic organs following failed attempted termination of pregnancy
ICD-10 O07.34 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of damage to pelvic organs following failed attempted termination of pregnancy.
O07.34 refers to the damage sustained to pelvic organs as a result of a failed attempted termination of pregnancy. This condition can arise from various complications during the procedure, including incomplete evacuation of the uterus, perforation of the uterus, or injury to surrounding pelvic structures such as the bladder or intestines. Patients may present with symptoms such as pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or signs of infection. Management of this condition often requires a multidisciplinary approach, including surgical intervention to repair any damage, medical management of complications, and psychological support for the patient. It is crucial for healthcare providers to document the specifics of the attempted termination, the nature of the damage, and the subsequent treatment provided to ensure accurate coding and billing.
