Surgical wound dehiscence (SWD) has been defined as the separation of the margins of a closed surgical incision that has been made in skin, with or without exposure or protrusion of underlying tissue, organs, or implants.
Some postoperative complications are related to the exact surgery that you have had, but many (such as wound infection) may occur after any kind of surgery. The most common postoperative complications include fever, small lung blockages, infection, pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

B3.6a: Bypass procedures are coded by identifying the body part bypassed “from” and the body part bypassed “to.” The fourth character body part specifies the body part bypassed from, and the qualifier specifies the body part bypassed to.
The classic first step in coding is to read the guidelines, but in the case of many ICD-10-PCS guidelines, starting there may prove to be confusing and frustrating. I’ve always been a big fan of learning the “why” behind the “what,” and when it comes to coding and coding guidelines, I like to identify the method behind the madness. The madness I’d like to address in this article relates to ICD-10-PCS coding guidelines for arterial bypass procedures.
B3.6b: Coronary artery bypass procedures are coded differently than other bypass procedures as described in the previous guideline. Rather than identifying the body part bypassed from, the body part identifies the number of coronary arteries bypassed to, and the qualifier specifies the vessel bypassed from.
The ICD-10-PCS definition of the root operation Bypass is “altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part.” In the case of the arterial system, the tubes are the arteries of the heart, as well as noncoronary circulation. The term “bypass” isn’t unique to the medical profession. We talk about bypasses in traffic or figurative bypasses at work when we develop “workarounds” to circumvent a problem. An arterial bypass is no different: there is a blockage we need to get around, and to do that, we must make a new pathway.
Pedicled grafts are not classified as devices in ICD-10-PCS because they remain attached to their original blood supply. For this reason, pedicled grafts are coded using the second row of the 021 table, which only has one device option, No Device.
Postoperative pain not associated with a specific postoperative complication is reported with a code from Category G89, Pain not elsewhere classified, in Chapter 6, Diseases of the Nervous System and Sense Organs. There are four codes related to postoperative pain, including:
The key elements to remember when coding complications of care are the following: Code assignment is based on the provider’s documentation of the relationship between the condition and the medical care or procedure.
Only when postoperative pain is documented to present beyond what is routine and expected for the relevant surgical procedure is it a reportable diagnosis. Postoperative pain that is not considered routine or expected further is classified by whether the pain is associated with a specific, documented postoperative complication.
