Cut, puncture or tear, as mode of injury or harm

Definition

The cut or puncture can be made by a scalpel, trochar, or any other device used to probe, separate, or hold tissues; or it can be made by manual manipulation of tissues. The cut or puncture must be considered unintended. That is it cannot be considered a required component of the procedure, for example, the femoral artery must be punctured in order to perform a catheterization. The cut or puncture must require repair. The cut or puncture may or may not result in significant loss of organ function.

Coding note

Code first the injury or harm associated with the procedure or intervention. Code also the cause of harm which identifies the procedure or intervention.
