867.8
ICD-9-CMThis code signifies a traumatic injury to an internal pelvic organ, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, where the specific organ is not identified in the documentation. Crucially, there is no associated open wound extending into the abdominal or pelvic cavity.
Use this code when documentation indicates a non-specific internal pelvic organ injury due to trauma, and the physician has not specified which organ is affected. This is appropriate when imaging or surgical findings confirm an internal injury but lack precise anatomical detail, and there's no mention of a penetrating injury or open communication with the outside.
