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

This code signifies a complication where a previously implanted prosthetic device, implant, or graft within the genital tract has shifted from its intended position. This displacement is occurring during a follow-up encounter for the initial complication, indicating ongoing management.

Use this code for patients presenting for follow-up care of a displaced genital tract prosthetic, such as a vaginal mesh, penile implant, or testicular prosthesis. This applies when the displacement is the primary reason for the visit and is not an initial diagnosis.

• Ensure the encounter is for subsequent care of the displacement, not the initial diagnosis.
• Specify the exact type of prosthetic device if a more granular code is available.
• Always code the underlying cause of the displacement if known and clinically relevant.
