K63. 89 - Other specified diseases of intestine. ICD-10-CM.
A bowel perforation is a hole in the wall of the small intestine or the colon. The small intestine is the long, tube-shaped organ in the abdomen that receives partially digested food from the stomach and passes digested food to the large intestine. The colon is the longest part of the large intestine.
If the perforation occurs in your bowel, it may be called a perforated bowel. If your GI tract is perforated, the contents may spill into your abdomen and cause peritonitis, an infection.
Gastrointestinal perforation, also known as ruptured bowel, is a hole in the wall of part of the gastrointestinal tract.
Perforation of intestine (nontraumatic) K63. 1 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Intestinal perforation, defined as a loss of continuity of the bowel wall, is a potentially devastating complication that may result from a variety of disease processes. Common causes of perforation include trauma, instrumentation, inflammation, infection, malignancy, ischemia, and obstruction.Nov 7, 2021
The primary symptoms of gastrointestinal perforation are severe abdominal pain and tenderness. The abdomen may also protrude or feel hard to the touch. If the hole is in a person's stomach or small intestine, the onset of pain is usually sudden, but if the hole is in the large bowel, the pain may come on gradually.
When you have acute diverticulitis, a perforated colon is not that unusual because diverticulitis causes tiny tears — perforations — in the colon walls. These tears can grow larger and become problematic. Colonic perforation can also be a life-threatening complication of recent colon surgery called anastomotic leakage.

After a regular colonoscopy, many patients experience some crampy abdominal pain because of retained air in the bowel. Intraperitoneal perforation can cause peritoneal irritation with rebound tenderness, rigidity of the abdomen, accompanied by fever, leukocytosis, and tachycardia.May 2, 2017
Treatment most often involves emergency surgery to repair the hole. Sometimes, a small part of the intestine must be removed. One end of the intestine may be brought out through an opening (stoma) made in the abdominal wall. This is called a colostomy or ileostomy.
Type-2 Excludes means the excluded conditions are different, although they may appear similar. A patient may have both conditions, but one does not include the other. Excludes 2 means "not coded here.". Perforation (nontraumatic) of appendix (K35.2, K35.3) - instead, use code K35.2.
