Fibrosis due to genitourinary prosth dev/grft, sequela

This code signifies the development of fibrous tissue as a late effect or complication arising from the presence of a genitourinary prosthetic device, implant, or graft. This fibrosis represents a chronic or residual issue directly attributable to the foreign material within the genitourinary system.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with symptoms or findings of fibrosis that is a long-term consequence of a previously implanted genitourinary device. This applies to situations where the fibrosis is no longer acute but rather a persistent sequela impacting organ function or causing discomfort.

• Always use this code as a secondary diagnosis, following the code for the specific genitourinary condition or symptom caused by the fibrosis.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the fibrosis to the presence of a genitourinary prosthetic device, implant, or graft.
• The "S" seventh character indicates a sequela, meaning it's a late effect of the initial complication.
