Displacement of other urinary stents, initial encounter

This code signifies the dislodgement or movement of a urinary stent, other than a ureteral stent, from its intended position within the urinary tract. This displacement can lead to complications such as obstruction, pain, or infection, requiring medical intervention.

Apply this code when documenting the initial encounter for a patient presenting with symptoms or imaging findings indicative of a displaced urinary stent, such as a bladder stent or prostatic urethral stent. This includes situations where the stent has migrated proximally or distally, or has become partially or completely expelled.

• Ensure documentation specifies "other urinary stent" to differentiate from ureteral stent displacement (T83.11-).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the displacement; subsequent encounters would use a different seventh character.
• Look for physician notes detailing the type of stent and the nature of its displacement.
