Deviated nasal septum. J34.2 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM J34.2 became effective on October 1, 2018.
When sinusitis is influenced by a deviated septum that occludes a sinus ostium, septoplasty may be warranted. Epistaxis (NoseBleed) The most common cause of nosebleed is trauma such as picking a crust off the nasal septum or excessive drying of the nasal mucosa.
The primary indication for surgical treatment of a deviated septum is nasal airway obstruction.
Eight patients (7 %) elected to have revision septoplasty. The authors concluded that ECS is an important surgical option for the correction of the markedly deviated nasal septum. Fixation of the straightened and re-planted septum at the nasal spine and dorsal septum border with the upper lateral cartilages is essential.

Nasal trauma is an injury to your nose or the areas that surround and support your nose. Internal or external injuries can cause nasal trauma. The position of your nose makes your nasal bones, cartilage, and soft tissue particularly vulnerable to external injuries. Common types of nasal trauma include: nosebleeds.
Injuries are coded from Chapter 19 of ICD-10 titled “Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes” (codes S00-T88). These codes make up over 50% of all ICD-10 codes.
The external cause-of-injury codes are the ICD codes used to classify injury events by mechanism and intent of injury. Intent of injury categories include unintentional, homicide/assault, suicide/intentional self-harm, legal intervention or war operations, and undetermined intent.

Most type IIa to type IV fractures in adults can be successfully reduced with a combination of topical and infiltrative local anesthesia. Ideally, closed reduction is performed 5 to 7 days post-injury to allow the majority of the edema to resolve and facilitate palpation and manipulation of the bony fragments.

Reconstructive septoplasty is the surgical correction of defects and deformities of the nasal septum (partition between the nostrils) by altering, splinting or removing obstructive tissue while maintaining or improving the physiological function of the nose.
The potential complications of septoplasty include septal perforation; failure to completely improve breathing due to swollen membranes as is seen in allergic patients; post-operative bleeding; nasal crusting; and re-obstruction due to improper healing and scarring, creating intranasal synechiae.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty and/or septoplasty are performed solely to enhance appearance.
Bleeding from the posterior half of the nose, however, is more likely to be caused by a splitting of a sclerotic blood vessel and is more common in hypertensive patients. Anterior nosebleeds are easy to treat by aspirating the blood clots, applying topical epinephrine and cauterizing the bleeding point. Prolonged packing of both sides of the nose may be necessary to allow healing in some patients. Because it is often impossible to see the exact bleeding site in posterior nosebleeds, treatment is more difficult. Bleeding must be controlled by compression of the bleeding vessel with a postnasal pack for 48 to 96 hours, arterial ligation or transpalatal injection of saline solution into the greater palatine foramen. Usually operative procedures on the nasal septum are not required for the control of nosebleeds; however, sometimes when projecting parts of the septum are traumatized by the drying effect of inspired air and impede visualization of the area of the nose posterior to the deviation, then septoplasty may be indicated to visualize the area for purposes of cautery and control.
The authors concluded that septal surgery with early removal of nasal packing is a clean-contaminated procedure and does not require routine antibiotic prophylaxis because of the low infection risk. Karaman et al (2012) examined the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis and septoplasty on nasal flora.
However, it was since found that not only is nasal packing ineffective in this regard, it can actually cause these complications. In a prospective, randomized, comparison study, Awan and Iqbal (2008) compared nasal packing versus no packing after septoplasty (n = 88). These investigators examined the incidence of a variety of post-operative signs and symptoms in patients (15 years of age and older), who did (n = 44) and did not (n = 44) undergo nasal packing following septoplasty. They found that patients who underwent packing experienced significantly more post-operative pain, headache, epiphora, dysphagia, and sleep disturbance on the night of surgery. Oral and nasal examinations 7 days post-operatively revealed no significant difference between the 2 groups in the incidence of bleeding, septal hematoma, adhesion formation, and local infection. Finally, subjects in the packing group reported a moderate-to-high level of pain during removal of the packing. These findings confirmed that nasal packing after septoplasty is not only unnecessary, it is actually a source of patient discomfort and other signs and symptoms.
Because the septum is deviated in most adults, the potential exists for over-utilization of septoplasty in asymptomatic individuals. The primary indication for surgical treatment of a deviated septum is nasal airway obstruction.
Wir brauchen die Nase zum Atmen und zum Riechen. Knochen und Knorpel formen das Äußere der Nase. Die Nasenscheidewand trennt die Nasenhöhle in zwei Hälften. Das Innere der Nase ist von einer feuchten Schleimhaut überzogen. Die Nasenmuscheln sind Knochenvorsprünge in der Nase, die ebenfalls mit Schleimhaut bedeckt sind.

The ICD code J342 is used to code Nasal septum deviation. Nasal septum deviation or deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a physical disorder of the nose, involving a displacement of the nasal septum. Some displacement is common, affecting 80% of people, most unknowingly. Specialty:
This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 470 was previously used, J34.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
