Injury of right uterine vein, sequela

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a long-term or late-effect complication arising from a previous injury to the right uterine vein. This could include conditions like chronic pain, scarring, or impaired blood flow that persist after the initial acute injury has healed.

🎯When to Use

Apply this code when documenting a current condition that is a direct consequence of an old injury to the right uterine vein. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the sequela is being treated or evaluated, rather than the initial acute injury.

💡Coding Tips

Always use this code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to identify the cause of the original injury, if known.
Do not use this code for acute injuries; instead, refer to the acute injury codes within the S35 category.
Ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past right uterine vein injury.
