K60. 1 - Chronic anal fissure. ICD-10-CM.
Fissure and fistula of anal and rectal regions ICD-10-CM K60. 3 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 393 Other digestive system diagnoses with mcc.
Overview. An anal fissure is a small tear in the thin, moist tissue (mucosa) that lines the anus. An anal fissure may occur when you pass hard or large stools during a bowel movement. Anal fissures typically cause pain and bleeding with bowel movements.
Fissurectomy. Your surgeon may suggest having a procedure called a fissurectomy alongside Botox injections. This involves cutting away the damaged skin from around the anal fissure.
Anal sphincter tear (healed) (nontraumatic) (old) K62. 81 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 K62. 81 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Fissures are quite common in the general population, but are often confused with other causes of pain and bleeding, such as hemorrhoids. Anal fissures can occur at any age and have equal gender distribution.
Fissures are associated with diarrhea and pressurizing to defecate. Fistulas may commonly be a result of Crohn's disease, obesity, and sitting in one place for prolonged hours. All three can be prevented by a high fiber diet and more intake of fluid.
One of the main differences between anal fissures and hemorrhoids is that anal fissures tend to only show symptoms during bowel movements, while hemorrhoids tend to be painful throughout the day. Without an examination, this difference in symptoms is usually very telling of what condition the patient is suffering from.
A fistulectomy involves complete excision of the fistulous tract, thereby eliminating the risk of missing secondary tracts and providing complete tissue for histopathological examination. A fistulotomy lays open the fistulous tract, thus leaving smaller unepithelized wounds, which hastens the wound healing.
Fissurectomy is one of the options among those techniques to treat chronic anal fissures. Many surgeons used this technique in patients with a high risk of incontinence, such as old age people, multiparous women, patients with the normal anal tone, and patients with a previous history of anorectal surgery [9].
