Why ICD-10 codes are important
Diagnosis of acute small bowel obstruction The diagnosis of majority of cases of bowel obstruction can be made based on clinical presentation and initial plain radiograph of the abdomen. Luminal contrast studies, computed tomography (CT scan), and ultrasonography (US) are utilized in select cases.
44180 is for laparoscopic adhesiolysis which would release the small bowel obstruction if the adhesions were the reason for the obstruction.
560.9ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 560.9 : Unspecified intestinal obstruction.
A small bowel obstruction is a blockage in the small intestine. Small bowel obstructions are usually caused by scar tissue, hernia, or cancer. In the United States, most obstructions occur as a result of prior surgeries. The bowel often forms bands of scar (called adhesions) after being handled during an operation.

The bowel. The bowel is part of the digestive system. It is made up of the small bowel (small intestine) and the large bowel (colon and rectum). The small bowel is longer than the large bowel but it gets its name from the fact it is much narrower than the large bowel.

In small bowel obstruction, the pain tends to be colicky (cramping and intermittent) in nature, with spasms lasting a few minutes. The pain tends to be central and mid-abdominal. Vomiting may occur before constipation. In large bowel obstruction, the pain is felt lower in the abdomen and the spasms last longer.
There are two types of small bowel obstruction:functional — there is no physical blockage, however, the bowels are not moving food through the digestive tract.mechanical — there is a blockage preventing the movement of food.
Similarly, the ICD-10-CM alphabetic index under the main term “ileus” has a subterm or essential modifier “postoperative” and points to code K91. 89 with a description of “other postprocedural complication and disorders of the digestive system” and a “use additional code” note.

Bowel obstruction or intestinal obstruction is a mechanical or functional obstruction of the intestines, preventing the normal transit of the products of digestion. It can occur at any level distal to the duodenum of the small intestine and is a medical emergency. The condition is often treated conservatively over a period of 2–5 days with the patient's progress regularly monitored by an assigned physician. Surgical procedures are performed on occasion however, in life-threatening cases, such as when the root cause is a fully lodged foreign object or malignant tumor.
