Displacement of prosth dev/implnt/grft of genitl trct, init

This diagnosis code signifies the dislocation or shifting from its intended position of any non-specified prosthetic device, implant, or graft located within the genital tract. This includes various surgically implanted materials that have become displaced, excluding those with more specific codes.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a newly identified displacement of a genital tract implant, such as a vaginal mesh, penile implant, or testicular prosthesis, that is not otherwise classified. This is appropriate for the initial evaluation and treatment of the displacement.

• Ensure the documentation clearly states the displacement is of a genital tract device and is not a more specifically coded complication (e.g., erosion, infection).
• Confirm this is the initial encounter for the displacement; subsequent encounters for the same issue will require a different seventh character.
• Always review operative reports and imaging studies to verify the type of device and the nature of the complication.
