The ICD-10-CM code for ovary laceration is S37.439 (Laceration of ovary, unspecified). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S37.439.

Within S37.43, choose S37.439 (unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unilateral (S37.431) and bilateral (S37.432).
