Pain due to genitourinary prosth dev/grft, sequela

This code signifies persistent or chronic pain experienced by a patient as a direct consequence of a previously implanted genitourinary prosthetic device, implant, or graft. This pain is not an acute complication but rather a long-term or ongoing issue related to the presence of the device.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with pain attributed to a genitourinary device, such as a penile implant, artificial urinary sphincter, or bladder sling, after the initial healing period. It is appropriate for follow-up visits where the primary complaint is ongoing discomfort or pain linked to the device's presence.

• Always use with an additional code to specify the exact type of genitourinary prosthetic device, implant, or graft.
• Ensure documentation clearly links the pain to the presence of the device, not an acute infection or mechanical complication.
• The "S" at the end indicates a sequela, meaning it's a late effect or complication of the initial problem, not an acute event.
