K91.87Postprocedural hematoma and seroma of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure

K91.87 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for postprocedural hematoma and seroma of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure. It belongs to category K91 (intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system, not elsewhere classified), block K90-K95 (other diseases of the digestive system) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within K91.8 (other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system), K91.87 is specifically for postprocedural hematoma and seroma of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure. Related codes cover other intraoperative complications of digestive system (K91.81), postprocedural hepatic failure (K91.82), postprocedural hepatorenal syndrome (K91.83), postprocedural hemorrhage of a digestive system organ or structure following a procedure (K91.84), complications of intestinal pouch (K91.85), retained cholelithiasis following cholecystectomy (K91.86) and other postprocedural complications and disorders of digestive system (K91.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K91.870 (procedure), K91.871 (procedure), K91.872 (procedure) and K91.873 (procedure).
