This applies to enterostenosis, obstruction of intestine or colon, occlusion of intestine or colon, stenosis of intestine or colon, and stricture of intestine or colon. Small bowel obstruction is when the small intestine is partially or completely blocked.
neonatal intestinal obstructions classifiable to P76.- An intestinal obstruction occurs when food or stool cannot move through the intestines. The obstruction can be complete or partial. There are many causes. The most common are adhesions, hernias, cancers, and certain medicines.
ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 560.9 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services.
Other intestinal obstruction unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction. K56. 699 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM K56.
ICD-10 code K56. 69 for Other intestinal obstruction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
A small bowel obstruction is a blockage in the small intestine. Small bowel obstructions are usually caused by scar tissue, hernia, or cancer. In the United States, most obstructions occur as a result of prior surgeries. The bowel often forms bands of scar (called adhesions) after being handled during an operation.
If the physician documents a large intestine obstruction for example, and does not find a specific cause, then the unspecified code, K56. 609, Unspecified intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction is assigned.
560.9ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 560.9 : Unspecified intestinal obstruction.
An obstruction in which two points along the course of a bowel are obstructed at a single location thus forming a closed loop. Patients present clinically with signs of obstruction: abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, abdominal distension.
In small bowel obstruction, the pain tends to be colicky (cramping and intermittent) in nature, with spasms lasting a few minutes. The pain tends to be central and mid-abdominal. Vomiting may occur before constipation. In large bowel obstruction, the pain is felt lower in the abdomen and the spasms last longer.
Small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is caused by a variety of pathologic processes. The most common cause of SBO in developed countries is intra-abdominal adhesions, accounting for approximately 65% to 75% of cases, followed by hernias, Crohn disease, malignancy, and volvulus.
There are two types of small bowel obstruction:functional — there is no physical blockage, however, the bowels are not moving food through the digestive tract.mechanical — there is a blockage preventing the movement of food.
CPT® 74250, Under Diagnostic Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging) Procedures of the Gastrointestinal Tract.
It makes up part of the long pathway that food takes through your body, called the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. When food leaves your stomach, it enters the small intestine, also called the small bowel. The small bowel connects to the large bowel, also called the large intestine or colon.

Small bowel obstruction is when the small intestine is partially or completely blocked. This causes stool to be unable to properly leave the body. Stool, fluid, and gas build up in the intestine, making this a very serious medical condition.
