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:
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.
The WSES Classification divides Hepatic Injuries into three classes: Minor (WSES grade I). Moderate (WSES grade II). Severe (WSES grade III and IV).Oct 10, 2016

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 3 is hematoma of more than 50% of the subcapsular surface area or if the hematoma is known to be expanding over time, if the hematoma has ruptured, intraparenchymal hematoma either more than 5 cm or known to be expanding, or capsule laceration more than 3 cm in depth and/or involving a trabecular blood vessel.
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.
They are: Grade 0 (healthy): Fat cells comprise 0–5% of the liver's overall weight. Grade 1 (mild): Fat cells comprise 5–33% of the liver's overall weight. Gade 2 (moderate): Fat cells comprise 34–66% of the liver's overall weight. Grade 3 (severe): Fat cells comprise more than 66% of the liver's overall weight.Jun 29, 2020
Activity restrictions for Grade 1 injuries are usually for 4-6 weeks, Grade 2 injuries for 6-8 weeks, Grade 3 for 8-12 weeks and Grade 4 and 5 injuries will be determined by your doctor.
Fortunately, most liver injuries are treated without surgery. Depending on the grade of injury, treatment can include strict bed rest, nothing to eat or drink for a short period of time, pain control, lab work, and IV fluid hydration. Blood transfusions can sometimes also be necessary.
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?

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.
