S38.2Traumatic amputation of external genital organs

S38.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for traumatic amputation of external genital organs. It belongs to category S38 (crushing injury and traumatic amputation of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals), 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 S38 (crushing injury and traumatic amputation of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals), S38.2 is specifically for traumatic amputation of external genital organs. Related codes cover crushing injury of external genital organs (S38.0), crushing injury of abdomen, lower back, and pelvis (S38.1) and Transection (partial) of abdomen (S38.3).

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.
