Displacmnt of prosth dev/implnt/grft of genitl trct, sequela

This code indicates a long-term complication where a previously implanted prosthetic device, implant, or graft within the genital tract has shifted from its intended position. This displacement is causing ongoing issues or requires further management, representing a sequela of the initial displacement event.

Apply this code when documenting a patient presenting for follow-up care or treatment of persistent problems directly related to the displacement of a genital tract prosthetic. This includes scenarios where the displacement occurred in the past and is now causing chronic pain, dysfunction, or necessitating revision surgery.

• Always assign an additional code to specify the type of displaced prosthetic device (e.g., vaginal mesh, penile implant).
• Use this 'S' (sequela) seventh character for conditions that are the late effects of the initial displacement.
• Do not use this code for acute or initial displacement; instead, use the appropriate 'A' (initial encounter) or 'D' (subsequent encounter) seventh character.
