S36.598Other injury of other part of colon

S36.598 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other injury of other part of colon. It belongs to category S36 (injury of intra-abdominal organs), block S30-S39 (injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S36.59, choose S36.598 (other part of colon) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: ascending [right] colon (S36.590), transverse colon (S36.591), descending [left] colon (S36.592), sigmoid colon (S36.593) and unspecified part of colon (S36.599).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
