Injury to other specified pelvic organs, without mention of open wound into cavity

This code signifies a traumatic injury to an internal pelvic organ, excluding the reproductive organs, bladder, and urethra, where there is no associated open wound extending into a body cavity. It typically involves structures like the rectum, anus, or other unspecified pelvic viscera that have sustained damage from external forces. The injury is considered closed, meaning the skin and underlying tissues remain intact without a direct communication to the internal organ.

Utilize this code for cases involving blunt trauma to the pelvis resulting in damage to organs such as the rectum, anal canal, or other non-specified pelvic structures, provided there is no open wound. Documentation should clearly state the specific pelvic organ injured and explicitly confirm the absence of an open wound into a body cavity. Examples include contusions, hematomas, or internal lacerations of these organs from falls, motor vehicle accidents, or direct blows.

• Ensure documentation specifies the other pelvic organ involved, as this code excludes reproductive organs, bladder, and urethra.
• Confirm the absence of an open wound into a body cavity; if an open wound is present, a different code will be required.
• Consider external cause codes (E-codes) to fully describe the circumstances of the injury.
