Jul 01, 2021 · According to all the educational materials I can find, however, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5). How does your institution code the liver laceration if they only give measurements of the lacerations? A: To start, the ICD-10-CM Tabular List gives the measurements for each of the three definitions. They are as follow:

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S36.115 became effective on October 1, 2021.
The WSES position paper suggested dividing hepatic traumatic lesions into minor (grade I, II), moderate (grade III) and major/severe (grade IV, V, VI) [6]. This classification has not previously been clearly defined by the literature.Oct 10, 2016
Grade IV: laceration: parenchymal disruption involving 25-75% hepatic lobe or 1-3 Couinaud segments. Grade V: laceration: parenchymal disruption involving >75% of hepatic lobe or >3 Couinaud segments within a single lobe; vascular: juxtahepatic venous injuries (ie, retrohepatic vena cava/central major hepatic veins).Jun 8, 2017
A grade III laceration is characterized by a laceration that is > 3 cm of parenchymal depth, a subcapsular hematoma that is > 50% surface area of ruptured subcapsular or parenchymal hematoma, and an intraparenchymal hematoma that is > 10 cm or expanding.
They are as follow: Minor: Laceration involving capsule only or without significant involvement of hepatic parenchyma (less than one centimeter deep) Moderate: Laceration involving parenchyma but without major disruption of parenchyma (less than 10 centimeters long and less than three centimeters deep)Jul 1, 2021
Unspecified injury of liver, initial encounter S36. 119A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Liver laceration is a physical injury to the liver, the organ located below the right ribs. It is the most commonly injured organ in abdominal trauma from both blunt and penetrating sources. A liver laceration is a tear in the liver tissue. Liver lacerations range in severity from mild to very severe or fatal.
Grade 4: Laceration involving the collecting system with urine leakage, injury to blood vessels going into the kidney, or injury to the kidney pelvis where the urine funnels into the ureter This grade laceration will likely require a surgical procedure depending on nature of injury.Feb 10, 2022

Healing of a simple liver laceration and subcapsular hematoma occurs in 2 to 4 months, whereas complex injuries require up to 6 months.
Because of its size, the liver is the most easily injured abdominal organ in children. Most liver injuries are caused by blunt trauma from motor vehicle crashes, falls, bicycle crashes, violence, or by a penetrating injury that tears or cuts the liver.
Classification. grade I. hematoma: subcapsular, <10% surface area. laceration: capsular tear, <1 cm parenchymal depth.Sep 20, 2021
A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.
If you are in a situation where the laceration is less than 10 centimeters long but more than 3 centimeters deep, you should query the provider on internal organ injuries if they were documented using the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading scale.
Minor: Laceration involving capsule only or without significant involvement of hepatic parenchyma (less than one centimeter deep) Moderate: Laceration involving parenchyma but without major disruption of parenchyma (less than 10 centimeters long and less than three centimeters deep)
Q: According to our software vendor, you can only code liver lacerations as minor, moderate, or major. According to all the educational materials I can find, however, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5). How does your institution code the liver laceration if they only give measurements of the lacerations?
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Injury of intra-abdominal organs (S36). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:
Non-specific codes like S36.113 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for laceration of liver, unspecified degree:
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code S36.113 are found in the index:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons.
S36.116A is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of major laceration of liver, initial encounter. The code S36.116A is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
Symptoms of liver disease can vary, but they often include swelling of the abdomen and legs, bruising easily, changes in the color of your stool and urine, and jaundice, or yellowing of the skin and eyes. Sometimes there are no symptoms.
Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. There are many kinds of liver diseases: Diseases caused by viruses, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.
According to 3M you can only code as minor, moderate, or major. However, according to all educational materials, liver lacerations are on a grading scale (grades 1-5) .
The ICD-10-CM Tabular lists measurements for each of the three definitions. There is also a 3M Nosology note in the encoder. Coders are instructed to follow these guides and should query if the documentation doesn't provide a laceration depth/length.
ICD Code S36.11 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the seven child codes of S36.11 that describes the diagnosis 'injury of liver' in more detail. S36.11 Injury of liver. NON-BILLABLE.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S36.11 is a non-billable code.
The ICD code S36 is used to code Abdominal trauma. Abdominal trauma is an injury to the abdomen. It may be blunt or penetrating and may involve damage to the abdominal organs. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, rigidity, and bruising of the external abdomen.
When bleeding is present, patients will present symptoms of shock, with rapid heart rate, pale or bluish skin and cold teguments. Hepatic injury ranges from haematomas, which are described as collection of blood, of various sizes, shapes and locations, to large ruptures, lacerations of liver tissue of different depths.
Surgery usually aims at controlling the hemorrhage as the most common cause of death in hepatic trauma in surgery is exsanguinations. Liver trauma, either blunt or penetrating consists of 5% of all trauma presentations with abdominal injury. It is prone to stab wounds and shooting wounds due to the abdominal position and the large surface covered.
As observed, the degrees vary, starting with I, the least severe to VI, the most severe. The rule of thumb states that any injury classified at a stage higher than II will most likely require surgical correction and in some cases, preparation for blood transfusion.
