Unspecified intestinal obstruction. K56.60 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM K56.60 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of K56.60 - other international versions of ICD-10 K56.60 may differ.

Abdominal adhesions are bands of scar tissue that form between abdominal organs, mainly the small intestine. Adhesions occur after abdominal surgery and can cause your tissues to stick together, when normally they would just move around freely.
Peritoneal adhesions are pathological bonds usually between omentum, loops of bowel and the abdominal wall. These bonds may be a thin film of connective tissue, a thick fibrous bridge containing blood vessels and nerve tissue, or a direct contact between two organ surfaces[4].
Abdominal adhesions are bands of scar-like tissue that form inside your abdomen. The bands form between two or more organs or between organs and the abdominal wall. Normally, the surfaces of organs and your abdominal wall do not stick together when you move.

INTRODUCTION. Postoperative adhesions are a natural consequence of surgical tissue trauma and healing. Peritoneal adhesions may result in infertility, pain, or bowel obstruction and may increase the tech- nical difficulty of subsequent abdom- inal or pelvic surgery.
Adhesions commonly result from abdominal and pelvic surgical procedures and may result in intestinal obstruction, infertility, chronic pain, or complicate subsequent operations.
Adhesions cause tissues and organs to stick together. The intestines are part of the digestive system. Abdominal adhesions can cause an intestinal obstruction. Although most adhesions cause no symptoms or problems, others cause chronic abdominal or pelvic pain.
Two common surgical techniques used to treat abdominal adhesions are laparoscopy and laparotomy. With laparoscopy, a doctor places a camera into your body through a small hole in the skin to confirm that adhesions exist. The adhesions then are cut and released (adhesiolysis).
The diagnosis of abdominal adhesions is typically done with the assistance of laparoscopy. This procedure involves using a camera to visualize the organs within the abdominal cavity. Routine tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and blood work are useless in diagnosing the adhesion itself.
Code 58660, Laparoscopy, surgical; with lysis of adhesions (salpingolysis, ovariolysis) (separate procedure), can be reported in addition to the primary procedure, only if dense/extensive adhesions are encountered that require effort beyond that ordinarily provided for the laparoscopic procedure.
Coders should not code adhesions and lysis thereof, based solely on mention of adhesions or lysis in an operative report. As is customary with other surgeries, it is irrelevant whether the adhesions or lysis of adhesions are included in the title of the operation.
