Displacement of implanted urinary sphincter, subs

This code signifies a complication where a previously implanted artificial urinary sphincter has shifted from its intended anatomical position. This displacement can compromise the device's function, potentially leading to urinary incontinence or retention, and may require medical intervention.

Apply this code when documenting follow-up care for a patient experiencing a displacement of their implanted urinary sphincter. This includes encounters for evaluation, management, or surgical revision of the displaced device after the initial treatment of the complication.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "displacement" of the implanted sphincter, not just a malfunction or erosion.
• Verify that the encounter is for subsequent care related to the displacement, not the initial diagnosis or treatment.
• Consider co-reporting with codes for any associated symptoms or further complications arising from the displacement.
