T83.722Exposure of implanted urethral mesh into urethra

T83.722 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for exposure of implanted urethral mesh into urethra. It belongs to category T83 (complications of genitourinary prosthetic devices, implants and grafts), block T80-T88 (complications of surgical and medical care, not elsewhere classified) 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 T83.72 (exposure of implanted mesh and other prosthetic materials into surrounding organ or tissue), T83.722 is specifically for exposure of implanted urethral mesh into urethra. Related codes cover implanted vaginal mesh into vagina (T83.721), implanted urethral bulking agent into urethra (T83.723), implanted ureteral bulking agent into ureter (T83.724), other implanted mesh into organ or tissue (T83.728) and other prosthetic materials into organ or tissue (T83.729).

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 was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
